Need help in reading a filename

Hi Guys,

I have the following input.

Code:
test_junk_file__20120210092009.txt
latest_file__20120210092009.txt
side_load_junk_file__20120210092009.txt

I need to exclude the timestamp part from the file.

so, the output should be as follows.

Code:
test_junk_file.txt
latest_file.txt
side_load_junk_file.txt

Could you please help me out here..

Cheers!!!!!!

The list should be space separated and each item may be suffixed with a colon and a (fractional) probability value which can be used to weight the criteria. E.g. --criteria="weaknt:0.8 strongnt:0.5" Valid criteria are: unbalanced weaknt strongnt twont strongtwo weaktwo three twoclubs 4441 singlesuit twosuits partscore game slam game-invite slam-invite jumpshift jumpfit splinter bacon weird --probability=factor Generate hands matching the criteria with only the given probability. Factor is in the range 0 to 1. On each attempt to generate a board it is rejected if it doesn't match the criteria with the given probability. A factor of about 0.8 gives roughly half matching boards AUTHOR
