Batch processing with filename filter

Question

Hi guys,
Does anyone have any idea how to run a specific action in batch along with a filename filter?
My problem is I have a folder with subfolders ie...  0001, 0002, 0003, 0004 etc   all these folders have approx 100 jpg files with the same filenames in each.
a sample of my images are: landscape-oraange.jpg , landscape-blue.jpg , landscape-red.jpg , portrait-orange.jpg etc etc
I was wonder of a way to just run the specific batch action on filenames containing a certain word, for instance to apply to all files containing the word "landscape" and exclude all other files.
I cannot copy all files under the subfolders to a seperate folder and run this way... as all filenames are the exact same as the other folders.
Does anyone have any advise?
Thanks again guys,   Jamie.

This might provide not quite what you are looking for but something similar.
Insert the correct Action and Set names in the line
app.doAction("Action 3", "Set 1")
and change the variable theIdentifier to the name part you want to use as a criterium.
This would work only if there are no spaces in the names by the way.
// 2012, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
// select folder;
var theFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("select folder");
if (theFolder) {
// define the name part to look for;
var theIdentifier = "Untitled";
var theFiles = theFolder.getFiles(new RegExp(theIdentifier+"\\S*.(jpg|tif|eps|psd)$", "i"));
// work through the files;
for (var m = 0; m < theFiles.length; m++) {
// open image;
var theImage = app.open(theFiles[m]);
// perform action;
app.doAction("Action 3", "Set 1")
