Rename all Files in a UNIX Directory from one date format to another date format
Hi Unix Gurus,
I would like to rename several files in a Unix Directory . The filenames can have more than 1 underscore ( _ ) and the last underscore is always followed by a date in the format mmddyyyy. The Extension of the files can be .txt or .pdf or .xls etc and is case insensitive ie .Xls or .XLS is also possible. Now i need to convert such a file to date format which ends with yyyymmdd.
For eg E-SSS_Reporting_for_Small_Groups_10012013.xls needs to be renamed as E-SSS_Reporting_for_Small_Groups_20131001.xls
How can i accomplish this?
Appreciate your Help on this.

I have an Foxbase application that saves dates in a character field using a Unix date format.
Does anyone know what the formula is to convert back to a standard date, something that can be, I hesitate to say, understood in a Windows environment, such as Excel or Access.
cheers
