function file_name = file_name_inc ( file_name )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% FILE_NAME_INC generates the next filename in a series.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    It is assumed that the digits in the name, whether scattered or
%    connected, represent a number that is to be increased by 1 on
%    each call.  If this number is all 9's on input, the output number
%    is all 0's.  Non-numeric letters of the name are unaffected..
%
%    If the name is empty, then the routine stops.
%
%    If the name contains no digits, the empty string is returned.
%
%  Example:
%
%      Input            Output
%      -----            ------
%      'a7to11.txt'     'a7to12.txt'  (typical case.  Last digit incremented)
%      'a7to99.txt'     'a8to00.txt'  (last digit incremented, with carry.)
%      'a9to99.txt'     'a0to00.txt'  (wrap around)
%      'cat.txt'        ' '           (no digits in input name.)
%      ' '              STOP!         (error.)
