Oof, immediately after postin my reply I realized a potentially much better solution. Will the last modified date/time of the files reflect the date and time mentioned in the filenames? If so, use cfdirectory as I mentioned but specify sort="datelastmodified DESC". Then first record returned will be the most recent file matching the filter :-)
