Calculating a FileName Pattern dynamically for "Path" in Azure Function (Blob Trigger)

I've Just created a Azure Blob Trigger in Azure Function.I can configure that the Blob Name which trigger the Function under the "Path" Properties. I see some examples of how to set the name of the blob here

But in my Case i want to trigger my Azure Function.When ever a file in the pattern like

ABL_{TIMESTAMP}.XML

e.g,

ABL_07022017_000114.xml

when i Changed my path as

"path" :"ABL_{filename}.xml" it works but not for the timestamp i'm afraid

Is there any other way like Using Regex Pattern to find the filenamepattern dynamically for the "Path"

Thanks in Advance

Do you mean you only want to match files with valid timestamp and skip files like "ABL_bla.xml"? – Mikhail Shilkov
Exactly, I do want to trigger only those matching files.dont want the rest – Jayendran
I don't think you can do it directly in the binding... Any problem to filter it out inside the function code? – Mikhail Shilkov
I've just new to this one.So just i've asked about the way i knew it. If this can be done outside of the function It also be helpful for me. But as i mentioned earlier if we filter it outside of the function,does the trigger will filter all the matching files "ABL_bla.xml" ? or the one with the correct Time stamp "ABL_07022017_000114.xml"? – Jayendran
My suggestion was to accept all the files (including ABL_bla) and then check the correctness of the filename inside the function. – Mikhail Shilkov

Since there is no direct binding method to directly filter the FilePattern. So i'm just filtering within my code. It just working fine
