Have you tried: /2008_0830_??????/
? That's how you would do it at the command line in windows anyway.

How can I use wildcard characters in a file path? Is it possible? I have a data vendor that makes data available for download using file paths that use as part of the path, .../2008_0830_103028/.... In other words the paths are auto-generated and include the year, date, hour/minute/second, in the file path. I want to just specify the year and date in the path and use .../2008_0830_xxxxxx/... so I can automate the data processing. I could use "contains", I guess, but I'd rather specify the path using variable characters. How can I do this?
