/** \class RegularExpressionSeriesFileNames
 * \brief Generate an ordered sequence of filenames that match a
 * regular expression.
 *
 * This class generates an ordered sequence of files whose filenames
 * match a regular expression. The file names are sorted using a sub
 * expression match selected by SubMatch. Regular expressions are a
 * powerful,  compact mechanism for parsing strings.
 * Expressions consist of the following metacharacters:
 *
 *  ^        Matches at beginning of a line
 *
 *  $        Matches at end of a line
 *
 * .         Matches any single character
 *
 * [ ]       Matches any character(s) inside the brackets
 *
 * [^ ]      Matches any character(s) not inside the brackets
 *
 *  -        Matches any character in range on either side of a dash
 *
 *  *        Matches preceding pattern zero or more times
 *
 *  +        Matches preceding pattern one or more times
 *
 *  ?        Matches preceding pattern zero or once only
 *
 * ()        Saves a matched expression and uses it in a  later match
 *
 * Note that more than one of these metacharacters can be  used
 * in  a  single  regular expression in order to create complex
 * search patterns. For example, the pattern [^ab1-9]  says  to
 * match  any  character  sequence that does not begin with the
 * characters "ab"  followed  by  numbers  in  the  series  one
 * through nine.
