there is a plugin for inster sequence numbers?

Extreme Gio

Hi, I need to write some code to draw a chart, datas like:
var cell00=Math.round(msg.payload.minutely[0].precipitation *600) /10;
I would to produce automatically:
var cell01=Math.round(msg.payload.minutely[1].precipitation *600) /10;
var cell02=Math.round(msg.payload.minutely[2].precipitation *600) /10;

So I need a plugin to put a number after a text, it can be smart to use the replace button like:
replace [var cell] with [text before]+number (how many digit, start from)+[text]
so I can build the first part, then the second one.
Thanks

You could seed a file with rows like:

and then cursor to left of 01 and record a macro that inserts text before it and after it, and ends by setting cursor to left of 02. Then run the macro as many times as needed.

But a better solution might have nothing to do with editor tricks and everything to do with programming approach. Most modern languages support a structure similar to:

var CellsArray[64];
var i;
for i = 0 to 63:
    CellsArray[i]=Math.round(msg.payload.minutely[i].precipitation *600) /10;

Does yours?

yes it does :) but sometime we need the old method! So there are no plugins, I’ll try to use macro ) Thank you!

@Extreme-Gio Something about your reply (maybe the words “old method”) reminded me of something I put together a while back which was very easy to repurpose to meet your need (completely outside of Notepad++):

@echo OFF

rem -- Cellvars.cmd -- Ref: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/21946/there-is-a-plugin-for-inster-sequence-numbers

rem x is start index, gets incremented; 
set x=0
rem xp is the leading padding string used in the var name; stays constant; it's length should be the number of 0's needed while x is a single digit
set xp=0
REM set tot num of vars needed
set count=17

DEL /P out1.txt

:LOOPN9
	set x2=%xp%%x%
	REM the number after the ~- should be (length of xp) + 1; example: for 500 vars, need xp=00, and use :~3 in next command
	echo var cell%x2:~-2%=Math.round(msg.payload.minutely[%x%].precipitation *600) /10; >>out1.txt
	set /a x=%x%+1
if %x% LSS %count% GOTO LOOPN9

Save it to new file Cellvars.cmd and execute it at command prompt. Output goes to a file called out1.txt so make sure there’s no local file with that name that you need to keep.
