Barb,
Try this:

#!/bin/ksh
#
# set up arrys of day strings, offset by one from real day
#

set -A days Fri Sat Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs

#
# determine today's day of week index
#

index=$(date '+%u')

#
# Use index to get previous days abbreviation
#

echo ${days[$index]}
#
grep STRING log.${days[$index]}

My TZ is EST5EDT and I think the 5 implies GMT-05:00 What does the 26 in EST26EDT imply?

Just curious.
