Well if you just have to have it your way.... ;-)
You will have to create the filter string dynamically like the following;
SET VAR vfilter = 'PDF Files (*.pdf)#'
{Set your filename pattern match here}
SET VAR vpdfspec = '0??82008.pdf'
{add it to the filter string here}
SET VAR vfilter = (.vfilter + .vpdfspec)
PLUGINS loadfilename.rbl vfilename|fullpath on|filter &vfilter
RETURN
