Gallery help: Variable length alpha filenames

I'm trying to use the gallery to build a list of variable length filenames from a site of mp3 files
How do I specify a wildcard to match any filename?

Original link is of the form:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/RE-Warehouse/fixed_name_[1963-1965;1]-[1-12;1]-[1-31;1]_cricket_match.mp3

The date variability is working fine, but the part I've highlighted in orange also varies in length and content.
How can I use gallery to get these to match ?

Not sure, but don't think you'll be able to unless perhaps you could use some JavaScript, & assuming there is something to key in on, to provide the string (name) you're looking for ?

Unless you can specify some exact patterns, then you're basically wanting to run a brute-force search of all text strings up to 13+ characters. If you can find a practical way to do that, then the NSA will want to talk to you, because you can crack almost every password in existence.
