file_search: need work around for filenames with square brackets [ ] [message #66807]

Hi,

the routines for reading FITS-files in the IDL astro library use
file_search() internally. Now I want to read a file name with square
brackets (as this "[" and " this" ]" ) in it, but file_search seems to
interpret the square brackets as regular expression. Is there a way to
escape the brackets?
Other suggestions?
I don't really want to change the library routines not rename the
files I have to read.
Any ideas?

Thank you very much,
RK
