Can autonumber be made to reset when certain text differs?

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Bulk Rename, but i've been working my way though the forum trying to come up with something a little complicated. In short, i need to add an incrementing autonumber after a hyphen, which resets when the text before it changes. For example:
Currently my files look like this:
But they need to look like this:
It's been puzzling me for some time, and i've got many thousands of files that'll need renaming in this way.

BRUIEW-example1
BRUIEW-example2
BRUIWXXY-intro1
BRUIWXXY-example1
BRUIWXXY-example2
BRUIWXXY-example3
BRUIWXXY-example4
But they need to look like this:
- BRUIEW-01-intro1
BRUIEW-02-intro2
BRUIEW-03-example1
BRUIEW-04-example2
BRUIWXXY-01-intro1
BRUIWXXY-02-example1
BRUIWXXY-03-example2
BRUIWXXY-04-example3
BRUIWXXY-05-example4
