    A good starting point would be to read Checkpoints. Also, see Working With Dates too.

     

    If you have a file called 'Test_20231127.txt', then you can create a function to generate the filename

    currentDate = aqDateTime.Today()
dateFormat = aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(currentDate, "%Y%m%d")
fileName = 'Test_' + dateFormat

     which you can then use to perform comparison later

I have something like this in one of my projects which looks for the file in the Downloads folder and that the filename matches what is expected:

 

function DownloadFileExists()
{
    var file = "C:\\Users\\" + Sys.UserName + "\\Downloads\\Text_Messaging_" + 
    aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(aqDateTime.Today(), "%m" + "_" + "%d" + "_"  +"%Y") + ".pdf"
    
    if (aqFileSystem.Exists(file)) {
      
        Log.Message("File exists: " + file);
    
    } else {
      
        Log.Error("File does not exist")
    }
}
