Solve : Adding number prefix based on text in file name?

Answer»

Hi, Noob here.
I'm trying to learn some basic unix to make some mundane tasks easier. In my job I often get surround SOUND AUDIO files provided and manually ADD numbers to retain the order for injest into other programs. I have seen some commands for renaming or replacing text in strings, however I don't think this will help.

audio.L.wav
audio.R.wav
audio.C.wav
audio.Lfe.wav

Would need to BECOME

1_audio.L.wav
2_audio.R.wav
3_audio.C.wav
4_audio.Lfe.wav

Does anyone have an idea of the best way to have a script recognize the .L.wav in the file name and just add a 1_ to the BEGINNING?

Many thanks in advance.
