do you mean that literal name, or do you want to include *.htm files
that start with six decimal digits? Jim Gibson has assumed the former,
while Shawn, the latter.

It would be difficult to get a file with a backslash in it.

on unix type file systems the only chars that can't be in a filename are \0 (null byte which is used to end c strings) and / (used for directory separators). the issue of unicode is a whole other matter so this comment is about 8 bit chars only.
