How do I take out(remove) the date part in the file name?

Hi Guys here I am again,

I have two files in a specified location.
Location ex: /opt/xdm/input/
input file names: 1. abc_app.yyyymmdd.dtd
2. abd_app.yyyymmdd.dtd
I need to build a code that reads the files from the location based on the oldest date and cuts the date part from the file name and places in the same dir.

Expected output files:
1.abc_app.dtd
2.abd_app.dtd

The "yyyymmdd" part changes everyday.So I need to find it dynamically and remove the date part from the files starting from the oldest file.

I am very much new to UNIX, can u help me out with the code?

Waiting for your reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!

XML::LibXML::Dtd(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       XML::LibXML::Dtd(3)

NAME
XML::LibXML::Dtd - XML::LibXML DTD Handling SYNOPSIS
use XML::LibXML; $dtd = XML::LibXML::Dtd->new($public_id, $system_id); $dtd = XML::LibXML::Dtd->parse_string($dtd_str); $publicId = $dtd->getName(); $publicId = $dtd->publicId(); $systemId = $dtd->systemId(); DESCRIPTION
This class holds a DTD. You may parse a DTD from either a string, or from an external SYSTEM identifier. No support is available as yet for parsing from a filehandle. XML::LibXML::Dtd is a sub-class of XML::LibXML::Node, so all the methods available to nodes (particularly toString()) are available to Dtd objects. METHODS
new $dtd = XML::LibXML::Dtd->new($public_id, $system_id); Parse a DTD from the system identifier, and return a DTD object that you can pass to $doc->is_valid() or $doc->validate(). my $dtd = XML::LibXML::Dtd->new( "SOME // Public / ID / 1.0", "test.dtd" ); my $doc = XML::LibXML->new->parse_file("test.xml"); $doc->validate($dtd); parse_string $dtd = XML::LibXML::Dtd->parse_string($dtd_str); The same as new() above, except you can parse a DTD from a string. Note that parsing from string may fail if the DTD contains external parametric-entity references with relative URLs. getName $publicId = $dtd->getName(); Returns the name of DTD; i.e., the name immediately following the DOCTYPE keyword. publicId $publicId = $dtd->publicId(); Returns the public identifier of the external subset. systemId $systemId = $dtd->systemId(); Returns the system identifier of the external subset.
