How do you use WLST to get a deployed Apps name?

Question

I am writing an application update script to make updating our environments quicker/easier with the following code from an ant build file:
<wlst debug="true" failOnError="true">
<script>
connect('login','pwd','t3://...')
updateApplication('${app.name}',block='true')
</script>
</wlst>
However, b/c our application has a version in the manifest file, our application name looks like this:
AppName-BuildNumber-TimeOfBuild
Since the TimeOfBuild is always different from build to build it is impossible to hard code this value. Is there a way to get the application's name using WLST?
connect(...)
cd('AppDeployments')
This shows me all applications deployed on the server, but inorder to go any farther I need the name of a specific app. I'm sure I am just overlooking an mbean somewhere, but I can't seem to find it! Any ideas??
Thanks.

Ok, so I figured out how to get an applications name but I can't get the following script to work from an ant build file:
<wlst debug="true" failonerror="false">
<script>
connect('system','weblogic','t3://...')
apps=cmo.getAppDeployments()
for app in apps:
if app.getName().startswith("4X"):
stopApplication(app,block='true')
undeploy(app.getName(),targets='MS1,MS2',block='true')
deploy('4X','//box/domains/applications/4X.ear',targets='MS1,MS2',stageMode='stage',block='true')
apps=cmo.getAppDeployments()
for app in apps:
if app.getName().startswith("4X"):
     startApplication(app.getName(),block='true')
</script>
</wlst>
When this is run I get the following error:
BUILD FAILED
C:\docume~1\dtanner\desktop\RELupdate.xml:134: Error executing the script snippe
t
connect('system','weblogic','t3://192.168.0.250:
7001')
apps=cmo.getAppDeployments()
for app in apps:
if app.getName().startswith("reporting-r
eport"):
stopApplication(app,block='true'
undeploy(app,targets='MS1,MS2',b
lock='true')
deploy('reporting-report-server','//bfediapp3/do
mains/applications/reporting-report-server.war',targets='MS1,MS2',stageMode='sta
ge',block='true')
apps=cmo.getAppDeployments()
for app in apps:
if app.getName().startswith("reporting-r
eport"):
startApplication(app,block='true
due to:
Traceback (innermost last):
(no code object) at line 0
SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('<string>', 2, 33, '\t\t\t\tapps=cmo.getAppDepl
oyments()'))
Any Ideas??? Also, how can you keep the format i.e. tabs and spaces at the front of a line in these forums???
Thanks.
