Wildcard in form processing

Question

Hello,
I have coded some basic parameter passing to select a date then on the recieving form it passes the date as text r pull up the link to corresponding video.
Send page example:
<form name="form1" method="post" action="videom.cfm">
  <div align="center">
    <select name="select">
      <option value="0830">8/30/10</option>
  </select>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
  </div>
</form>
Recieve page example:
mms://hostservername/#select#10/video.wmv"
Is there some code I can pass as a wildcard so if I have a folder or file like 20101122-1304.... It will still access the folder or file.

Answer 1

I am posting to a wmv now but in the future  I will be posting to a
folder that is timestamped but depending on the start time. So here is a
little background of what I am doing. I create a video archive that I
post on  a video server. Then I have a send and receive cold fusion
file. In the send file the user sees a drop down list, which is linked
to send the date through option value to the receive file where it
completes an url according to the date. With my new encoder it will post
to a web presentation folder with a timestamp. The timestamp will be
prety much the same url except that the minutes will change so I need a
wildcard parameter to fill in the blanks.  With your suggestion I see
that you suggest that user enters in the data. Is there a way to still
use a drop down list. How do you suggest I do the rest of your
recommendation, I am a newbie. Thanks
