Hi folks,

can someone please tell me how to insert continuing numbers?

for example i have those lines: (note: the ‘x’ are placeholders only, there may be nothing at that place)

CMDx=
CMDx=
CMDx=

How can i insert continuing numbers?
CMD1=
CMD2=
CMD3=
or
CMD001=
CMD002=
CMD003=

And then, is it possible increase an number in an block?

F.ex. i have:
CMDx=
Parax=
Iconx=

CMDx=
Parax=
Iconx=

and i want to get:
CMD1=
Para1=
Icon1=

CMD2=
Para2=
Icon2=

or i may have:
CMD1=
Para1=
Icon1=

and i want to copy this block multible times and increase the counter each time.

Thanks for any suggestion

There is no built-in function to do what you want, you must use a plugin.
There is one example for inserting continuing numbers in this post http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1604&start=0.
The code is short and rather easy to understand, so start from there and customize it for your need.

Good luck.

Wonderful, thank you!

InsertNum works at least for to Insert continuing numbers, but not with padding.
I can also insert line numbers in front of the text, even starting with numbers relative to the current line.

If somebody have some spare time to implement “pad with n zeros”… would be fine, i am not onto python yet
I imagine an syntax to enter “001 1” and get “001,002,003,…”. Anyone?

BTW, just for the record, I also play around with inc-dec-value plugin…

I editted it a bit and came up with this:

import sublime, sublime_plugin

class PromptIncrementNumberWithPaddingCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):

    def run(self):
        self.window.show_input_panel('Enter a starting number, step and zero padding.', '1, 1, 1', self.on_done, None, None)
        pass

    def on_done(self, text):
        try:
            (current, step, padding) = map(str, text.split(","))
            if self.window.active_view():
                self.window.active_view().run_command("increment_number_with_padding", {"current" : current, "step" : step, "padding" : padding} )
        except ValueError:
            pass

class IncrementNumberWithPaddingCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):

    def run(self, edit, current, step, padding):
    # def run(self, edit, current, step):
        sublime.status_message("Inserting #")
        current = int(current)
        for region in self.view.sel():
            sublime.status_message("Inserting #" + str(current))
            self.view.replace(edit, region, str('%0*d' %(int(padding), int(current))))
            current = current + int(step)

It will ask you for starting number, step and width it should fit.

If you specify 1, 1, 1 the first number is 1.
If you specify 1, 1, 5, the first number is 00001.

Works crazyarm , many thanks.

And the class name from
"class PromptIncrementNumberWithPaddingCommand()"

without “command” and the words separated by underscore

is the trigger to use in the keymap like
{ “keys”: “ctrl+alt+n”], “command”: “prompt_increment_number_with_padding” } ?

Was not that obvious for me as newbie.

That python still not looks familiar to me (VBS+JS) but looks like elegant coding.
(current, step, padding) = map(str, text.split(",")) looks very nice.
Is there an python howto especially for SublimeText snippets?
EDIT: ok, i try first => net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/pytho … -2-plugin/

Thanks for all the help.
