András' solution shows emacs' greatness.

But it might be easier to get rid of
numbers in the /text/ of headings and
instead do M-x org-num-mode, which
dynamically shows heading numbers like

1. Heading
2. Heading
   1.1 Heading

...

with default settings.  There plenty of
possibilities for configuration, see
(info "(org)Dynamic Headline Numbering")
[evaluate after the last closing parenthesis]
or the commentary section of org-num.el


Ciao; Gregor
