The best way would we to filter the files in the folder by the given condition and then read the list of text files which satisfies that

It should be array of files. If there is only one file name for day then it should look like this:
StrFiles = Directory.GetFiles(“yourpath”,“cadence_”+Now.date.ToString(“ddMMyyyy”)+“*.txt”)(0).toString
If there is more files with today date then 1:
arr_strFiles = Directory.GetFiles(“yourpath”,“cadence_”+Now.date.ToString(“ddMMyyyy”)+“*.txt”)
And in for each item in arr_strFiles we can open the file
