Loop through folder on files with filename having particular date

Question

I have to loop through all files in folder with particular date (say- 20150902) in the filenames.

I want to do this in shell script and take the date from the argument of the script.

I was using

for f in /data/test/loader/test01/XXX/$1*; do commands done

But it doesnt loop over all the filenames.

my filenames in folder look like this:

QQQ.XX8_XX2.FW00.20150902.0005399.30345.dat

and the date which is the input to the script is

The date is in the middle of your file name, so try /data/test/loader/test01/XXX/*$1* (note the asterisk added in front of $1).
