Yeah, the problem with that is that in the future users could drop files onto the filesystem which have timestamps that bear no relation to reality (old files, new files, files with timestamps in the future or any time at all).
So searching for "newer than" or "older than" (which would be quite easy) breaks down pretty quickly.
Hence wanting to set the timestamps to something artificial (11:11:11 on 1st of a given month) to allow me to filter between what I already know and everything else.
Unless I'm missing something in your suggestion?
Thanks for the thoughts so far though!

Could you tell me what's the difference of filesystem of Solaris to filesystem of Windows? I need to compare both.

So given filenames of varying lengths, I was wondering how I would remove or modify appended timestamps of the current date DD-MM-YY.
So say:

And what I expect the output to be:

shtool-move
SHTOOL-MOVE.TMP(1) GNU Portable Shell Tool SHTOOL-MOVE.TMP(1)
NAME
shtool-move - GNU shtool enhanced mv(1) replacement
SYNOPSIS
shtool move [-v|--verbose] [-t|--trace] [-e|--expand] [-p|--preserve] src-file dst-file
DESCRIPTION
This is a mv(1) style command enhanced with the ability to rename multiple files in a single operation and the ability to detect and not
touch existing equal destinations files, thus preserving timestamps.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-v, --verbose
Display some processing information.
-t, --trace
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
-e, --expand
Expand asterisk in src to be used as ""%"n" (where n is 1,2,...) in dst-file. This is useful for renaming multiple files at once.
-p, --preserve
Detect src-file and dst-file having equal content and not touch existing destination files, thus perserving timestamps. This is useful
for applications that monitor timestamps, i.e. suppress make(1L) repeating actions for unchanged files.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
shtool move -v -e '*.txt' %1.asc
# Makefile
scanner.c: scanner.l
lex scanner.l
shtool move -t -p lex.yy.c scanner.c
HISTORY
The GNU shtool move command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1999 for GNU shtool.

shtool(1), mv(1), make(1).
