Full Discussion: Remove prefix from filenames

Question
Is there a command that will only remove the specified prefix?? That's the only place I'm stuck at.
The examples provided were just examples to help paint the picture of what I was trying to do. Sorry for being unclear.
As for the appending the appropriate prefix, etc., that part's already been typed out. I just want to include a part in the beginning of the shell script that will remove the prefix before it does the modifying the filenames any further.

SYNOPSIS

       tiffsplit src.tif [prefix]

DESCRIPTION

       tiffsplit splits a multi-directory (page) TIFF file to create one or more single-directory (page) TIFF files. The output filenames are cre-

       xzz.tif. If a prefix is not specified on the command line, the default prefix x is used.

OPTIONS

       None

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       src.tif	       The name of the input file.

       prefix	       The prefix used to create the output filenames.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
