Help with cat current date's data out of txt file

Greetings all...need some help

I'm trying to pull only the current days data in a specific directory.

I know i'm not supposed to put the whole script..but i'm really confused and need a lot of help

dateM='date | cut -c 5-10'
ls -lrt /bs/processing/* >> jess1.txt
cat jess1.txt ls -lartR |grep "$dateM" >> jess2.txt

cat jess2.txt |mail email address


rm jess1.txt
rm jess2.txt

The data is getting pulled into the first txt file. But, when i try to pull the current date out of jess1.txt and place it in jess2.txt. It pulls nothing...a little help please

try something like this:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh     
# one second after midnight                                
today=`date +%Y%m%d`"0000.01"
touch -t $today dummyfile
find /path/to/files -name \* -newer dummyfile -type f > report.txt
/usr/bin/mailx -s 'new files' username < report.txt
rm -f report.txt
exit
