It should not be too hard. Since you have such a rock solid format,
you can safely assume in your case, the last 2 digits are ints always,
always 2 digits long.
Just find the string of chars you are interested in, and substring the
last two. Now you have a number (int) and you can use a little math
to +1 to it.
The only area you have to be careful in, depending on the language, is
01 to 09 where the leading zero is going to get lost. You could use a
string pad left function to put a zero in, or in this case, just check
the string length, if it is one, concatenate a zero in front.

the first bit no problem (date +%Y%m%d), but I'd love to find a clever
way to auto increment the last 2 digits unless it's a new day. Then I
could use the same script every time.
