Finding 4 different file name inside one folder meeting specific File Name pattern

Hi All,
I am trying to find 4 latest files inside one folder having following File Name pattern and store them into 4 different variables and then use for processing in my shell script. File name is fixed length.
1) Each file starts with = ABCJmdmfbsjop letters + 7 Digit Number _mm-dd-yyyy-hh-mm-ss-3 Digit Number.data
where ABCJmdmfbsjop :- is alphabet. Each file starts with this ABCJmdmfbsjop alphabet.
7 Digit Number :- Numeric 7 digits.
__:- Underscore character
mm-dd-yyyy-hh-mm-ss :- This will be today's month-date-Year-Hour-Minutes-seconds
-
3 digit number This cauld be any number.
.data:- this will be extension of the file.

For example:- ABCJmdmfbsjop0001552_11-02-2012-13-01-10-962.data

Any help regarding this will be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Lance
