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!

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:

coolbeans_DD-MM-YY.pdf
And what I expect the output to be:
test.txt

diffpp
DIFFPP(1) DIFFPP DIFFPP(1)
NAME
diffpp - pretty-print diff outputs with GNU enscript
SYNOPSIS
diffpp currentfile < diff-file
DESCRIPTION
Diffpp converts diff(1)-program's output files to a format suitable to be printed with GNU enscript(1). Program annotates the changes with
enscript's special escapes so enscript can highlight the modified portions of the file. All changed and added lines are printed with
gray-background, deleted lines are marked with minus (`-') characters; diffpp prints one minus character for each deleted line.
EXAMPLES
The easiest way to use diffpp is to use it as an input filter for enscript. If an input filter is specified for enscript it is used to
pre-process the incoming data-stream. Filtering does not alter any header strings or file-timestamps which might be printed on enscript
headers; only the incoming data is modified.
enscript -G2re --filter='rcsdiff %s | diffpp %s' *.c *.h
Print the changes between current source files and their latest RCS-versions.
enscript -G2re --filter='diff %s~ %s | diffpp %s' *.c *.h
Print changes between source files and the corresponding backup-files.
