Use of regular expression

Hi,
I need some help.

My task is, to write a "one-line" command, which must use ls and awk.
Task: Write a command-line, which should rename all files in dir from form "value1.dok" to "value2.doc". And value2=value1+1.

For example:
Code:
ls | awk -F: '{print "mv "$0" "$1+1".doc"}' | sh

But this doesn't work with a filename with characters. Therefore i tested this:
Code:
ls | awk -F: '{print "mv "$0" value"substr($1 ,6)+1".doc"}' | sh

This worked, but my taskprogram say "wrong" and want see a other command (perhaps with different string?)
So i tested it with regular expressions, but my console say always "syntax error":
Code:
ls | awk -F: '{print "mv "$0" "${1%[!0-9]*}""${1%[0-9]*}+1".doc"}' | sh

I havent any idea how i could it bring to work in one line... Smilie

Can someone perhaps help me?
And sorry for my very bad english Smilie

NAME
"IO::Async::Signal" - event callback on receipt of a POSIX signal SYNOPSIS
use IO::Async::Signal; use IO::Async::Loop; my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new; my $signal = IO::Async::Signal->new( name => "HUP", on_receipt => sub { print "I caught SIGHUP "; }, ); $loop->add( $signal ); $loop->run; DESCRIPTION
This subclass of IO::Async::Notifier invokes its callback when a particular POSIX signal is received. Multiple objects can be added to a "Loop" that all watch for the same signal. The callback functions will all be invoked, in no particular order. EVENTS
The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters: on_receipt Invoked when the signal is received. PARAMETERS
The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure": name => STRING The name of the signal to watch. This should be a bare name like "TERM". Can only be given at construction time. on_receipt => CODE CODE reference for the "on_receipt" event. Once constructed, the "Signal" will need to be added to the "Loop" before it will work. AUTHOR
