Subject: Substituting with a find counter . . .

In this gsub block, I'd like to save the searched parenthetical data, 
indicated by (.*) in line 2. The script works, but, instead of getting 
the parenthetical data, I'm getting "$1." Very literal, but, not what I 
want. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
Peter


1 counter = 0
2  contents.gsub!(/^%%Page:(.*)[0-9]{1,5}$/)  do |match|
3  counter += 1
4  "%%Page: $1 #{counter}"
