BASH and wildcard expansion

[Mark Haney]

Let me try again.  I want to copy a file with a filename like
2013-August-18--1123.zip to another folder.  However, because the last 4
digits of the filename won't always be the same, I want to be able to
search in a bash script for '2013-August-18--*.zip'. I.e. match all files
with '2013-August-18--' in the filename.  From a console I can do this by:

ls 2013-August-18--*.zip

How can I do that in a bash script.  I can probably use find, but this
seems much simpler and/or quicker than finding one file.

Does that make more sense?
