I have a file that is created each day with the date added to the filename; I want to grab the most current file every time another workflow is run. Is their a tool that will help with this process.

A Directory tool will read a list of files from a folder, then you can use a Sort and Sample to get the most recent file, and finally a Dynamic Input can take that full path and read in the data.

This is what I was looking for. I had executed this once before but I just could not remember how or the WF I created this in.
