How about the obvious, have some process rename the file to the name you 
decide on each day...you are going to have to deal with the filename being 
different no matter how you cut it, so take the easy route is my suggestion.

Write a routine to open as a text file and pull out the data you need. You 
can then pop it into the database or whatever you are trying to do with it.
