@kamal-lochan ,

The Notepad++ search engine does not have a way to auto-increment a counter in the replacement string.

There are two ways that I can think of to get around this:

1. If you know the maximum number of instances you are going to hit, you could use a trick that @guy038 uses, which is to add a list of numbers at the end of the document after some sort of unique marker line (you can add the numbers easily using the Edit > Column Editor), then use a search-and-replace that grabs the first item from the after-marker list and appends it to the match. This post by @guy038 about merging two files might be a conceptual starting place for you.

2. If you are willing to add a plugin like PythonScript, you can use the editor.research method to call a function which will increment the number. This post shows an example ripped from the PythonScript docs that adds one to each number found in the document; a slightly modified version could be used to add one to a global variable, and then use that global variable in the replacement for each match.

You’re probably about to find out that we have yet another user that likes to open multiple threads to ask the same question over and over; see HERE

warning to future readers

@kamal-lochan asked the identical question in a separate topic, where the dicussion continued.

please don’t do that

@kamal-lochan , This is frustrating to people who want to help you. I hadn’t read to the repost of your question yet, so I spent 10 minutes coming up with a reply and posted that; it wasn’t until another member messaged me to inform me that the question was re-asked there (and then @Alan-Kilborn posted here to let me know as well) that I found out you’d asked your question twice – and that others had already answered you hours ago.
