Renaming files

Linux and Unix-Like Linux

Hello,

I have some files which I would like to rename. These files are generated every 15 min and i would like to issue script that originally rename this file with one prefix like "BBB91."

original file is :

C20110415.1315-20110415.1330

desired one would be:

BBB91.20110415.1315-20110415.1330

this files are dynamic one and always change each 15 min
next one will look like

C20110415.1330-20110415.1345 
C20110415.1345-20110415.1400 ....

Thanks in advance
