description

This would seem to be very similar in function to Inc (vimscript #156) - I put it here mainly for posterity. The main differences are that it will honour preceeding zeros (without assuming octal ... plus, 0 in hex numbers are honoured: "0x0001"), and it will 'tidy up' misaligned numbers, to a degree (only right-aligns ATM). It uses the location of the first number to determine the alignment location. You may now renumber starting at the /bottom/ of a block with the 'r' (reverse) option.  Note that you still have a default increment of +1, so to renumber a block ending at '10' you need to change the last number in the file to "10", make your selection and "Renumber r s-1". Renumber will also renumber days & months (e.g., Jan,Feb.Mar, etc.).  To renumber days, use the 'd' argument - for months, it's 'm'. Use by selecting the block of text (visually, linewise or blockwise, etc.), then issuing: :'<,'>Renumber .. or some other range indicator. Renumber will search the selection for a number (left -> right), and use that (hence use blockwise selection (<Ctrl-V>) to specify a column).  It will only edit numbers it finds in subsequent lines that have approximately the same position within each line. You may pass in any arguments in any order: a  - consider whole of line when searching for next number (even blockwise). d - renumber with day names m - renumber with month names r - reverse block order: start renumbering from bottom of block upwards sN  - [no space] use increment N (may be negative). Eg., :'<,'>Renumber a :'<,'>Renumber s4 :'<,'>Renumber a s-2 :'<,'>Renumber m s3 :'<,'>Renumber r s-1 Todo - add a left-justify option (probably '-').

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
renumber.vim	1.16	2005-07-14	6.0	Neil Bird	A number of padding-related bug-fixes.
renumber.vim	1.13	2004-04-19	6.0	Neil Bird	Fix bug when visual selection doesn't cover start of initial number (e.g., '456' of "123456".
renumber.vim	1.12	2004-04-19	6.0	Neil Bird	Add support for renumbering hex values (0x1, 0x001, etc.). Some more 'nasty' stuff, as vim can't convert dec->hex, so, unfortunately, this will only work with a perl-capable vim (you won't get any errors without perl, it just won't cope with it, as it didn't before). You get a free global 'Dec2Hex' function, though :-)
renumber.vim	1.11	2003-12-04	6.0	Neil Bird	Fixed bug - now correctly skips lines with no matching nos. to renumber Also hopefully copes with lines containing mixtures of tabs/spaces, which cause havoc with visual-block column numbers. I'm doing some quite dodgy stuff to fix that, so please let me know if it misbehaves.
renumber.vim	1.10	2003-05-21	6.0	Neil Bird	- Wasn't matching preceeding '-'s as part of a number to replace. - Added r[everse] option, to start renumbering from the end of the block.
renumber.vim	1.9	2003-03-31	6.0	Neil Bird	Bug fix arg. parsing for negative renumbering (John Sumsion)
renumber.vim	1.8	2003-03-27	6.0	Neil Bird	Bugfix the month/day stuff, plus a little speed optimisation.
renumber.vim	1.7	2003-03-26	6.0	Neil Bird	Add 'renumber' of days-of-week and months-of-year (English only)!
renumber.vim	1.4	2002-03-12	6.0	Neil Bird	Use col() instead of virtcol(), thus letting it work on lines containing <Tabs>!
renumber.vim	1.3	2002-01-23	6.0	Neil Bird	Initial upload
