Regex command with eval regex-expression

I am beginner with splunk and want to filter the log lines with matching file name field but file name (Ex. file_name=XXXXXX.abc.XXX.20210326.XXX.txt) have date as part of its value which varies as per current day. 

I tried the below approach and it didn't help.

 index=xyz source="/logs/logfile.log"
| eval filename_expr="%abc%".strftime(now(), "%Y%m%d")."%"
| regex file_name=filename_expr
| stats count by source

Please advise.

Hi @kaspean 

Try it with where like instead of the regex command:

| where like(file_name, filename_expr)
