Sequential numbers regex?
Hello,
I wondered if anyone out there could help me. I want to be able to mark some tags up with sequential numbers and I wondered if this was possible with regular expressions.
What I want is for example to replace say

<p> with <p id="1"> <p id="2"> and so on etc, etc

I know nothing about regex's so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Regular expressions cannot generate sequential numbers. With Emacs you would be able to do this.

In epp:
<p id="%MATCHN%">
Perhaps your editor has something similar.

An id should begin with an alpha character so the statement would be something like:
<p id="CH_%MATCHN%">

PS: Most Grep tools have a numbering cpability.

I thought this couldn't be true because every true description of Emacs has to match the regular expression “.*e.*m.*a.*c.*s.*”. But I checked it (with Emacs of course) and lo and behold, it matches. Ideally these letters should match at the beginning of words so it still falls short.
