Something like this will basically do the "increment target link" part
(making some big assumptions, doing no error checking, not handling
wrap-around, etc.):
cur_link=$(readlink target | sed -e "s#./##")
cur_number=${cur_link%% *}
cur_number=${cur_number#0}
let new_number=cur_number+1
new_number=
Just to nail the point home, if you have spaces in the name, you must
put quotes around the name of the variable containing the name.
Or:
FILE="a b c.txt"
cat "$FILE"
cat "a b c.txt"
If it has things like "?", "*", or others, Danger Will Robinson!!
