I have a file that contains the following information:

Name - John
filename "LKTA_mic4.cfg"; }
Name - Tim
filename "LKTA_mic2.cfg"; }
Name - Jane
filename "LKTA_mic1.cfg"; }
Name - Jim
filename "LKTA_mic3.cfg"; }
Name - Don
filename "LKTA_mic1.cfg"; }
Name - Cody
filename "LKTA_mic4.cfg"; }

I need to have the script search for 'LKTA' in the line.  If it contains text, serialize the number portion starting at 1 and ending at 4.  when it hits the fifth instance of 'LKTA', start back at 1 (loop until complete basically).  If it doesn't contain the string 'LKTA', simply print the line.

The desired output would be:

Name - John
filename "LKTA_mic1.cfg"; }
Name - Tim
filename "LKTA_mic2.cfg"; }
Name - Jane
filename "LKTA_mic3.cfg"; }
Name - Jim
filename "LKTA_mic4.cfg"; }
Name - Don
filename "LKTA_mic1.cfg"; }
Name - Cody
filename "LKTA_mic2.cfg"; }

My knowledge of Perl is limited, and the scripts I have been trying to write are a dismal failure.  I think the best method for this would be to delete the number, and then just run a serializing loop printing 1 through 4. Any help you have to offer would be very nice of you.
