thanks
Im not exactly sure what your intentions are here. Do you want to rename an existing file? Modify the filename in a script? Modify a bunch of files that look like this? Can you elaborate a bit more?

To change the file name, use the mv command

mv $PWD/fbres.01.20031106:09:08:30 $PWD/fbres.01.20031106
where $PWD equals the value of the present working directory (i.e. where your file resides)
