It depends on how you are running this script and how long it takes
between the time the monitoring starts and the time a file is modified.
If it is the same day you could create your query defining a file name
using the VBScript date time functions to return year, month etc.
dtYear=CStr(Year(Now))
dtMonth=CStr(Month(Now))
dtDay=CStr(Day(Now))
myfile="CAS_" & dtYear & Pad(dtMonth,2,"0",True) & Pad(dtDay,2,"0",True)
& ".log"
WScript.Echo myFile
Function Pad(strText, nLen, strChar, bFront)
Dim nStartLen
If strChar = "" Then
strChar = "0"
End If
nStartLen = Len(strText)
If Len(strText) >= nLen Then
Pad = strText
Else
If bFront Then
Pad = String(nLen - Len(strText), strChar) _
& strText
Else
Pad = strText & String(nLen - Len(strText), _
strChar)
End If
End If
End Function
Your other option is to use the LIKE operator and use a wild card:
"TargetInstance.name LIKE 'c:\\path\\CAS_2007%'"
Although I've never used a wild card with this type of query so I don't
know if it will work.
