You can use the regular expression "\d\d\.\d\d\.\d\d" to match and remove dates in the format: "yy.mm.dd".

Depending upon where in the filename the date string is situated you will be left with an unwanted dot either at the beginning or the end or else a double dot somewhere in the middle.

So use a List replace method with three lines...

1) Replace: \d\d\.\d\d\.\d\d with: nothing
2) Replace: (^\.)|(\.$) with nothing
3) Replace \.\. with .
