Hi, Allan-
Following up from IRC...
My text editor of choice on Windows was TextPad, and it supported a
handy way to insert sequential numbers for "replace all" operations.
This was useful, for example, when inserting line numbers, creating
unique ids, etc.
I don't know if the syntax was unique to TextPad, or if it is part of
some standard regex syntax, but it was pretty simple and effective:
\i(<start_index>,<increment>)
\i Replace with numbers starting from 1, incrementing by 1.
\i(10) Replace with numbers starting from 10, incrementing by 1.
\i(0,10) Replace with numbers starting from 0, incrementing by 10.
\i(100,-10) Replace with numbers starting from 100, decrementing by -10.
Any chance this (or something similar) could be added to TextMate?
Thanks-
-Doug
