Is there a function that I can use to find yesterdays date or do I have to
write a script to find it

thank you
Michael

perl -e '($d,$m,$y)=(localtime(time-86400))[3..5];$m+=1;$y+=1900;print "$m/$d/$y\n";'

With GNU's date command you can find anything, yesterday's date,
tomorrow's date, date of n days' agao, etc, etc.
