about Incrementing numbers in a rectangular selection:
I tried to come up with a Applescript solution to accomplish it.
What I have now is this: I select the '1's in the first block with a
rectangular selection. Then, I invoke a script, that increments that
numbers by one. Here it is:
tell application "BBEdit"
set allTargets to selection
set counter to 0
repeat with oneTarget in allTargets
select oneTarget
try
set yeah_tmp to (get (selection as text) + counter)
set selection to yeah_tmp as text
set counter to counter + 1
end try
end repeat
end tell
This works quite well whilst the numbers do not cross a decimal
border (9 -> 10, 99 -> 100, etc. - the character count is no longer
valid if a former loop instance adds to the amount of existing
characters). While this solution is good enough for most of my use
cases I thought I might share this with the group and invite more
fluent Applescript speakers to improve it.
Assuming that you are have an IF command then just select the text
and have the suffixing as + tens + counter. (if you want to go over
99 the have a hundreds also). You set tens and hundreds to "". After
the set counter to counter + 1, test for counter=10. If it is, then
set counter to 0 and test for tens="", and use the result to set tens
to 1 or tens+1. Then if you want to go past 99, do the same test for
tens=10 and set hundreds to either 1 or hundreds+1 along with tens=0.
