Selecting files with current date in file name in WinSCP and PowerShell

I am new to WinSCP and PowerShell.
I am trying to look for files in a directory that has the pattern "ABC"+somenumbers+YYYYMMDD+somenumbers.zip

$dt = (Get-Date).ToString('yyyyMMdd') 
$transferOptions.FileMask = ("ABC*>=" "+$dt+".zip")

I am not able to get any files downloaded to local directory. Is my file mask correct?

Thanks
MR

As the date is part of the filename, you don't need to use the ">" syntax in the filemask, which would be for the file modified time.

Powershell will expand variables inside double-quoted strings (Variable expansion in strings and here-strings), so you can use

$transferOptions.FileMask = "ABC*$dt*.zip"
