maybe hard to do:

example Format\FORMAT~4.LUA is returned by fullName.ShortPath
this is not a utf8 string ~ is 126

Format\FORMAT~4.LUA  
F	70
o	111
r	114
m	109
a	97
t	116
\	92
F	70
O	79
R	82
M	77
A	65
T	84
~	126
4	52
.	46
L	76
U	85
---------------
so string.match(fullName.ShortPath,'(.*)%.lua') returns nil
