Hi Robbin,
vgersh99 is correct in noting that quoted asterisks, question marks, etc. are matched by the shell as literal strings. To use asterisks to match any string of characters in a pathname and to use a question mark to match any single character in a pathname in pathname pattern expansions, the asterisks and question marks cannot be quoted.
Since there are no IFS characters in either Deposit_ or Withdrawal_, no quotes are required. But, any of the following would work:
unless the pathnames roll over from Deposit_999 to Deposit_1000 and Withdrawal_999 to Withdrawal_1000.
