I am trying to format a find command to delete files older than n days. The command is in a script and incorporates the ORACLE_SID variable. I can't get the command to work with the first part of the file name as a variable.
It works fine if I hard code it. Any ideas?

Example: find . -name ${ORACLE_SID}_exp_full*.log -mtime +1 -exec ls {} \;

Thanks!
Ron
