Of Course

Look at this DOS command: dir *1958*

Simple, right? Nope! In addition to finding "1958.bat" in the folder, it also found this file: 

06_Track 6_The Smiths_The Queen Is Dead_40000.mp3

A challenge! Show me 1958 in this file name 06_Track 6_The Smiths_The Queen Is Dead_40000.mp3

I am confused, but open to ideas why DOS believes that 1958 is in the following string: 

06_Track 6_The Smiths_The Queen Is Dead_40000.mp3

I don't see a 1, a 9, a 5, or an 8 in 06_Track 6_The Smiths_The Queen Is Dead_40000.mp3.
