Btw.

    a) ".+"  matches a series of any character
    b) "\d+" matches a series of any digit

> coda-slider.1.1.1.1452703531.js

would then be returned as

    coda-slider.1.1.1.js

since the first series of digit-dot is matched by a).

If your customer has a file to be delivered that is named for example

    linux-4.2.1.gzip

your regular expression would return

    linux-4.2.gzip

since it strips off just the last digits-dot pair.
