extracting text and reusing the text to rename file

Hi,
I have some ps files where I want to ectract/copy a certain number from and use that number to rename the ps file.
eg:
'file.ps' contains following text:
14 (09 01 932688 0)t
the text can be variable, the only fixed element is the '14 ('. The problem is that the fixed element can appear elsewhere, not followed by a number (eg.14 (Telefoonnummer)t)
The number can appear several times in the file, so I only would like to use the firts occurrence.

So basicaly it comes to that:
file.ps needs to change to 09 01 932688 0.ps
Can someone help me with that?

Tnx in advance,
John
