I do this kind of stuff with a Q of Q, and it works well. cfdirectory returns a query.
Maybe try that.
Something like:
<cfdirectory directory="#pDir1#" action="" name="daList">
<cfquery name="daSortedList" dbtype="query">
SELECT *
FROM daList
WHERE Type = 'File'
AND Name Like 'les%'
</cfquery>
<cfset p = "#daSortedList.RecordCount#">
check my syntax tho' ...

This is off the top of my head, so I could be wrong, but I believe that
"filter" only filters by extension.
Assuming this is true, you could either filter the list in CF or use a
DOS command like "dir /b les*.* > les_list.txt", use cffile to read it
in, and then treat it like a linefeed-delimited list.
