Is there some way to resequence my numbers, always in order?

Second issue, is that in most cases, my variable names are not
always the
same length, but I like to line them up on the "=" sign:
Test = "test";
Thistest = "test";
Is there any way to automatically do this as well?
Straighforward enough with a bit of script and a couple of regexes.
Should be easy enough in Perl or whatever. Here's my version, a
newLisp Unix filter:
(set 'file (open ((main-args) 2) "read"))
(set 'counter 0)
(while (read-line file)
(set 'temp (replace {(.*')(\d)} (current-line) (string $1 (inc
'counter)) 0 ))
(println (set 'l (replace {(\S*)(\s*)(=.*)} temp (string $1 (dup "
" (- 12 (length $1))) $3 ) 0 ))))
(exit)
which will turn
foo = anItem '1;
bar = anItem '2;
cat = anItem '2;
dog = anItem '4;
Test = "test";
Thistest = "test";
into
foo = anItem '1;
bar = anItem '2;
cat = anItem '3;
dog = anItem '4;
Test = "test";
Thistest = "test";
although here I'm assuming that you're starting counting from 1. It
would be an extra line to work out the initial number if not zero...
Oh, sorry, I've just noticed that some solutions have already arrived
in my inbox. Never mind, was good practice...! :-)
cheers
