    ##These aproaches didin't work##
    I'm trying to replace a file that looks like
    socketpair.c-3ymvNUZH.txt and strip all the chars
    after the extension so it looks like socketpair.c

import os
import sys

for filename in os.listdir(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))):
    base_file, ext = os.path.splitext(filename)
    if ext == ".c-":
        os.rename(filename, base_file + ".c")



import glob
import os

for filename in glob.iglob(os.path.join('/home/rfmonk/Source/', '.c-*')):
    os.rename(filename, filename[:-12] + '.c')
