Analytic app, Interface tool, replace 2 parts of string with dates

Hi,

 

I have the following path

 

\alteryx\202202\final_file2022.del

 

how can I use a text box to replace the dates each time this is ran as an analytic app?

 

So if I enter in 202203

 

I will get the file from:  \alteryx\202203\final_file202203.del

 

Thanks
