Thanks for all your answers.

I forgot to mention that the source files have very different names.
Anyway, thanks to other threads and your answers, I have managed to get
the right script (or at least the one that works for me :))

#!/bin/bash
OLDIFS=$IFS
IFS=$'\n'
Z=972
for i in *
do newname=`echo "doc$Z.txt"`
mv $i "$newname"
Z=$(($Z+1))
done
IFS=$OLDIFS
