Find a list of the numbers you want to use, I assume you’re capable of generating the list in some way, but I like using the `seq` command in the terminal such as: <blockquote>$ seq 16 32 16 17 […snip...] 31 32 </blockquote> Note: It is important that they be separated by new line characters. Copy this list. Select your first placeholder: “##" <PortalOBj portalFlags="16" numbOfRows="1" initialRow=“##”> Press Control + W, this selects the next placeholder. Repeat until your selection contains all of your placeholders. Paste.

I do not think that what you want is possible using only regular expressions and “Find & Replace”. It is possible and not to complex using a programming language. The following code does what you want: #!/usr/bin/env python from re import compile from sys import stdin, stdout regex = compile( """(<PortalOBj portalFlags="16" numbOfRows="1" initialRow=")\d+(">)""") index = 16 def create_subtitute_function(): def substitute(match): global index replacement = "{}{}{}".format(match.group(1), index, match.group(2)) index += 1 return replacement return substitute text = regex.sub(create_subtitute_function(), stdin.read()) stdout.write(text) I attached a bundle which contains a command that uses the above code. To install the bundle just double click it. You can apply the substitution on some text by pressing the key combination “^⌥⌘R”. Since the above is my code I would be careful when you use the command though :). > For example, I want the first sequential number to be 16. > > Here is a screen capture: > > Thanks! Kind regards, René P.S.: You can create a screenshot of a single window by using the key combination “⇧⌘4”. After that just hit “Space” and a click on the window you would like to make a screenshot of. This way you do not need to crop the picture. <hr align="center" size="3" width="100%"> _______________________________________________ textmate mailing list <a href="textmate@lists.macromates.com">textmate@lists.macromates.com</a> <a href="http://lists.macromates.com/listinfo/textmate">http://lists.macromates.com/listinfo/textmate</a> </blockquote> <hr align="center" size="3" width="95%"> _______________________________________________ textmate mailing list <a href="textmate@lists.macromates.com">textmate@lists.macromates.com</a> <a href="http://lists.macromates.com/listinfo/textmate">http://lists.macromates.com/listinfo/textmate</a> </blockquote> _______________________________________________ textmate mailing list textmate@lists.macromates.com http://lists.macromates.com/listinfo/textmate</div></div></blockquote></body></html>
