We'd like monitor a folder of date named text log files for a string but can't seem to find a solution that can handle the changing file names. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

Hello,
thank you very much for your KB-Post. I'm very much afraid the File Content Sensor is not able to "solve" this task. You could achieve this though with a self - written Custom Exe/Script Sensor.
Best regards.
