BASH and wildcard expansion

[Mark Haney]

I've hit a problem I can't quite figure out which a bash script I'm
writing.  I'm trying to copy backup files in the format
2013-August-18--1123.zip to an NFS share.  I want to have the script copy
the file with just the date.  In bash I've setup vars that get the current
date:

# Date variables
log_year=`date "+%Y"`
log_month=`date "+%B"`
log_day=`date "+%d"`

# Filename format YYYY_MM_DD--HHMM.zip
filename=$log_year"-"$log_month"-"$log_day"--"/*".zip"

The problem is I don't really care about the stuff after the '--'. I.e.
from the CLI I'd just 'ls 2013-August-18--*.zip' to get all the files with
that date in the file name.  How can I do that in a bash script?
