I know it's not exactly the same but is this a close duplicate of [[Search a list]]? This one has an odd requirement that it has to be a file extension, but the other one has the extra requirement of using an indexed list. I think they're close enough and Search a list has the advantage of already being implemented a lot and not restricting the data. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] ([[User talk:Mwn3d|talk]]) 16:56, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 
: Well, the file extension has to be parsed, and there is the case of the filename not having an extension (so the requirement of having to have a file extension ... isn't).   The handling of insensitive case is a minor requirement.   It's a common enough task to warrant it's own task. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:28, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 
: Also, just to note, some filenames that have no file extenstion:
 
::::* somefile
::::* holy smoke
::::* afile.
::::* /a/path/to/glory.yup/or_not
::::* funny...
