Okay, how do I do that? How do I generate that string? I have a whole 
bunch of file in my single storage group named:

5072_20150506215900.mpg
5072_20150506215900.mpg.png
5072_20150506215900.mpg.-1.100x75.png

and then a bunch that don't have the 100x75 file. Is that time string 
buried in the file name?
