I don't work like this here,you have to show some effort
Can give some hint that should take you close if put together.

import os

path = r'some_path'
for file in os.scandir(path):
    if file.name.endswith('.txt'):
        # Do something to all .txt

>>> import re 
>>> 
>>> today = '04172019'
>>> s = 'Siva_mourya_02242019_nd.txt'
>>> re.sub(r'\d+', today, s)
'Siva_mourya_04172019_nd.txt'
