[Samba] OT pattern match

[Steve]

Hi,

This is off topic but maybe someone can reply offline to me..

I'm not getting my patterns to work (hitting my head did not help either)!

We've got files that have variations on ".1.2.3" added to their filenames 
and I'm trying to strip them automatically. They are all tar.gz files so 
that's a matching pattern for all. I want to strip all the dot-numbers 
behind the gz part but am failing miserably.
