getDocName() seems to be a regular function of scribus...

however, this is what you are looking for:

import scribus
import os
import re
scribus.getDocName()
name = os.path.basename(scribus.getDocName())
if (re.search("stringtomatch", name)) :
  scribus.messageBox("name", name)
else :
  scribus.messageBox("name", "none")





just replace "stringtomatch" by the string you want to match.
(btw, i don't think that what you want to do is really something i would want to do... matching the file name? brrrrr... :-)
