OK so here's the regex that I came up with that meets my needs and I use it in a perl script to find files and then parse out file name with the parts I need.
I have a program that will export my data to a single file, but it assigns a file name that is overridden every time I run the program. I need to change the file name to have a sequential number in the filename.

sdate
sdate(1) Debian manual sdate(1)NAME
sdate - never ending September date
SYNOPSIS
sdate [-e|--epoch yyyy-mm] [-l|--lib library] [--] [command]
DESCRIPTION
sdate runs a command in an environment wherein it wraps the libc localtime() and gmtime() calls such that the program will use the eternal
September date. The wrapper functions are in a shared library /usr/lib/libsdate/libsdate.so* which is loaded through the LD_PRELOAD mecha-
nism of the dynamic loader. (See ld.so(8))
OPTIONS -e yyyy-mm, --epoch yyyy-mm
Specify an alternative epoch, default is 1993-09.
-l library, --lib library
Specify an alternative wrapper library.
[--] command
Any command you want to be ran. Use '--' if in the command you have other options that may confuse sdate's option parsing.
-h Display help.
-v Display version.
FILES
/usr/lib/libsdate/* The shared library containing the wrapper functions.
ENVIRONMENT
LD_PRELOAD
LIMITATIONS
Library versions
Every command executed within sdate needs to be linked to the same version of the C library as sdate itself.
