You can define the file trigger job using a JIL script:

insert_job: file_trigger
job_type: FT
machine: machine_name
owner: user_name
watch_file: /path/to/file/*pattern*
watch_file_type: CREATE

Then define a CMD job to execute a command after success of the file_trigger job:

insert_job: cmd_job
job_type: CMD
command: /path/to/script/script.sh
machine: machine_name
owner: user_name
condition: success(file_trigger)

In script.sh, you can find the files that match the pattern you are looking for:

#!/bin/bash
files=(/path/to/file/*pattern*)
echo "The first matching file was ${files[0]}"

${files[0]} holds the file name of the first file that matches the pattern. The first file that matches the file trigger's wildcard is also the same file that matches the shell script's wildcard.
