/**
	 * Rather unneccessary, but delightfully interesting (and efficient) way to
	 * iterate the number at the end of a file name.  At least I expect it to be
	 * efficient since it utilizes a single character buffer all the way through.
	 *
	 * It does this by using, underneath everything, javas fast array copy methods
	 * via StringBuilder, and then through slicing and reversing the string to 
	 * abstract out the number at the end of a fileName.  So a File Name of the 
	 * format FileName1234.txt will automatically be parsed and return 
	 * FileName1235.txt.
