I don't know what you are trying to accomplish exactly. Are you wanting to retain the contents of the file or just create new one without date?

Here ya go:

Code:
cat ABC_DEF_yyyyymmdd_hhmiss_XXX.txt > ABC_DEF.txt

Or....
Code:
mv ABC_DEF_yyyyymmdd_hhmiss_XXX.txt ABC_DEF.txt

Or....

Give some specifics, and I'm sure we can help you out!

If it is in a script that is reading this, maybe put this in:

Code:
sed -e -i 's/ABC_DEF.*$/ABC_DEF.txt/g' ABC_DEF_yyyyymmdd_hhmiss_XXX.txt
