I have a user that is trying to write a python script that reads in a dataset 
with a large number of files (say hundreds to thousands of files).  The dataset 
is Exodus.  This user wants to read in a large number of these datasets (dozens 
to hundreds), with each dataset comprised of a different number of individual 
files than the other datasets.  Thus, he doesn't want to read in files like 
this (example, only 8 files):

z_pinch1exo8 = ExodusIIReader(FileName=['z_pinch1.exo.8.0', 'z_pinch1.exo.8.1', 
z_pinch1.exo.8.2', 'z_pinch1.exo.8.3', 'z_pinch1.exo.8.4', 'z_pinch1.exo.8.5', 
'z_pinch1.exo.8.6', 'z_pinch1.exo.8.7'])


But would rather like this:
z_pinch1exo8 = ExodusIIReader(FileName=['z_pinch1.exo.8.*'])
or
z_pinch1exo8 = ExodusIIReader(FileName=['z_pinch1.exo."totalFileCount".*'])


Is this possible in Python?  What is the format?

If the user wants to window into his data, say take the last 4 files, is this 
possible?

Thanks,

Alan
