[TxMt] Re: How can I add a sequencial number to this Find/Replace?

[Graham P Heath]

You can combine Multiple Carets and Copy + Paste to achieve this easily.

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:

$ seq 16 32
16
17
[…snip...]
31
32

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 :).

Kind regards,

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.
