IMHO simpler and more flexible (works if there are lines not matching
the pattern) is:

    :let n=0 | g/opIndex(\zs\d\+/s//\=n/|let n+=1

A useful idiom I learned here.  Usually I muck around with ordinary
searches until the search highlighting shows I've got it right, then

    :let n=0|g//s//\=n/|let n+=1

is what I have to remember, and it's obvious what the start and increment 
are.

Just as additional info this method also lets you perform this sort of
incremental substitution on letters.

     UniqueID2       = lview.focusedItem.subItems.opIndex(0).text;
     Parent          = lview.focusedItem.subItems.opIndex(0).text;
     Children        = lview.focusedItem.subItems.opIndex(0).text;
     login           = lview.focusedItem.subItems.opIndex(1).text;

let i=97|g/opIndex(\zs\d\+/s//\=nr2char(i)/|let i=i+1

     UniqueID2       = lview.focusedItem.subItems.opIndex(a).text;
     Parent          = lview.focusedItem.subItems.opIndex(b).text;
     Children        = lview.focusedItem.subItems.opIndex(c).text;
     login           = lview.focusedItem.subItems.opIndex(d).text;

let i=65|g/opIndex(\zs\d\+/s//\=nr2char(i)/|let i=i+1

     UniqueID2       = lview.focusedItem.subItems.opIndex(A).text;
     Parent          = lview.focusedItem.subItems.opIndex(B).text;
     Children        = lview.focusedItem.subItems.opIndex(C).text;
     login           = lview.focusedItem.subItems.opIndex(D).text;


:h nr2char


Since you brought it up, I also have this other situation,

bla.blah.blahh[0].text;
bla.blah.blahh[0].text;
bla.blah.blahh[0].text;
bla.blah.blahh[0].text;
bla.blah.blahh[0].text;
bla.blah.blahh[0].text;

I tried using the original solution you gave me,

:let n=0 | g/opIndex(\zs\d\+/s//\=n/|let n+=1

but it kept going to the same spot as before.  I will not change the [#]. 
Where is the match for (?  I can't figure it out.  The next version of vim 
should have an easier way of doing this.  I constantly have to copy from vim 
and paste to TextPad and doing it there and then copy from TextPad back to 
vim.  Yes, I know I could make a function and assign a key to it, but these 
kind of things should be just built in.  I know, I am a picky guy, aren't I? 
:-)

thanks.
