Rule to generate sequential number and set it as part of the node title

I'd like to have an automated procedure to generate a sequential number that would be set as part of the node title. This number would have a format like TEXT_2011_###### and it woud start with TEXT_YEAR_000001. As an example: INCIDENT_2011_000001.
And finally this string would be the node title.

Is this possible to achieve with rules and without programming?

In short I need an automatic node title generator that follows a "tokenized" pattern with a fixed text portion, a "current year" portion and a sequential number segment that takes into consideration the previous generated node title from the same content type. It would be something like an invoice number generator, or a case tracker generator...

The automatic node title module uses tokens, but it does not provides the needed flexibility I'm looking for.

Thanks,
Victor Cardoso

...something along those lines too.

There's also the type local-nids module, also tokenized, but it 'ain't what I'm looking for.

So I guess I'm subscribing... : )

Warm regards from sunny México!
