Re: ftp script and variables in filenames

So i can easily build a script to GET a file from remote server by
matching
it for exact filename specified in script.
Ex. GET FILENAME1_20180619.TXT

But what is the syntax to GET a file name that would already be in a
format
such as this? I am not concerned with "qualifying" the date value
unless
of course there is a fairly simple way to do that... but simply being
sure
the structure is sound by "qualifying" the filename and then being sure
a
true Date exists thereafter...

And to make it a little more fun, consider filenames such as...

FILENAME1_YYYYMMDD_CUSTOMER#_HHMMSS.txt
where real value might be...
FILENAME1_20180619_12345_022134.txt


I would use the FTP client APIs from RPG/ILE to drive such a
process.
