bash - How to check files present or not in directory with mask defined in variable -

i have bash script, list files mask

offset1=`date +%y%m%d -d "2 day ago"`

and move in directory. files format example - *160123*.log need check, if files mask $offset1 exists, move in directory $dir, else exit script.

i tried like

if [ -r *$offset1* ];then

but nothing

how this?

offset1=$(date +%y%m%d -d "2 day ago") f in *"$offset1"*;     echo "$f" done

you should use $() syntax instead of backticks, , use globbing list files. remember quote $f in mv statement, in case of files spaces in them.
