Batch rename files (specific date format) in windows xp explorer

I have several hundred files that have names that include dates, in either YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD format.  I need to batch find and replace these dates to convert them to MMDDYYYY.  But also, to move the date to the end of the file name, with a space prior to the date So for instance:

1989-06-19-COMPANY-COMPANY-SPCC GEN INFO.TIF

would be renamed:

COMPANY-COMPANY-SPCC GEN INFO 06191989.TIF


20100809 - Remed - Stantec - HASP for GWM.pdf

would be renamed

- Remed - Stantec - HASP for GWM 08092010.pdf


Thank you in advance,
