Removing characters from beginning of multiple files

Hi,

I have been searching how to do this but I can't seem to find how to do it. Hopefully someone can help.

I have multiplr files, 100's example 12345-zxys.213423.zyz.txt. I want to be able to take all these files and remove the first '12345-' from each of the files. '12345-' these characters are uniqe on each file but of the same length.

I would appreciate if someone can help.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Israr

NAME
pbmupc - create a Universal Product Code bitmap SYNOPSIS
pbmupc [-s1|-s2] type manufac product DESCRIPTION
Generates a Universal Product Code symbol. The three arguments are: a one digit product type, a five digit manufacturer code, and a five digit product code. For example, "0 72890 00011" is the code for Heineken. As presently configured, pbmupc produces a bitmap 230 bits wide and 175 bits high. The size can be altered by changing the defines at the beginning of the program, or by running the output through pnmenlarge or pnmscale. OPTIONS
The -s1 and -s2 flags select the style of UPC to generate. The default, -s1, looks more or less like this: |||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||| 0||12345||67890||5 The other style, -s2, puts the product type digit higher up, and doesn't display the checksum digit: |||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||| 0|||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||| ||12345||67890|| SEE ALSO
