I have the following bash:

cd /aPath/
for x in y.*.gz
> do something $file.dd.mm.yyyy >> /anotherPath/aFile
> done

I would like to pass in an argument to this file which will represent the month to insert in to 'mm'. So I would like to be able to call from the command line:

myFunc 08

and it would run:

cd /aPath/
for x in y.*.gz
> do something $file.dd.08.yyyy >> /anotherPath/aFile
> done

How do I do this/can I define something in my bash_profile ?

I would add the function into my /home/user/.bashrc

in example

myFunc() 
 mm=$1
 FILES=/home/user/*
 for f in $FILES; do
 if [[ $f == filename.dd.$mm.yyyy ]]; then
 ls -la $f
 fi
 done

and remembering to reload .bashrc file with the command source ~/.bashrc, I would call the function from the shell.

mm=$1 will get the first parameter(argument) you passed to the function by calling myFunc 08 and put it into $mm variable (which is pretty useless step, you can directly use $1 variable wherever you need into the function)
