If you limited the name to A-Z a-z 0-9 . it would work on anything
without a tight length limit anything.

Thanks Roedy, this seems to do the job (forgot to say file name must
end with "con")

> Pattern p = Pattern.compile("([A-Z]|[a-z]|[0-9])+.con");

That can be abbreviated to:

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("([A-Za-z0-9])+.con");

Better quote that . character ... Also, the ( ) can be
eliminated if the O.P. doesn't need the capturing group.
