In case anyone has the same problem, I post my solution to renumbering tokens in a text using regex and script.
The job is to renumber Token-IDs given as "TokenId="<n>"".
The solution ist quite simple.
First replace all "<n>" to "X", then replace the "X" one by one with a number incremented on each step.
The example is based on some general examples about findReplace. Unfortunately I lost the source url. Many thanks nevertheless!
If there is already a similar solution on the forum, I apologize to have missed it. Then this post might be a duplicate.

Code: Select all
if (UltraEdit.document.length > 0) // Is any file opened?
{
// Define environment for this script.
UltraEdit.insertMode();
// The first line is for UE/UES for Windows and the second line for UE for Linux/Mac.
if (typeof(UltraEdit.columnModeOff) == "function") UltraEdit.columnModeOff();
else if (typeof(UltraEdit.activeDocument.columnModeOff) == "function") UltraEdit.activeDocument.columnModeOff();
// Move caret to top of the active file.
UltraEdit.activeDocument.top();
// Define the parameters for a case-sensitive Perl regular expression
// replace all and run the replace on entire file.
UltraEdit.perlReOn();
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.mode=0;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.matchCase=true;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.matchWord=false;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.regExp=true;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchDown=true;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchInColumn=false;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.preserveCase=false;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.replaceAll=true;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.replaceInAllOpen=false;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.replace("TokenId=\"\\d+\"", "TokenId=\"X\"");
var n = 1;
UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.replaceAll=false;
while (true)
{
if (!UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.replace("TokenId=\"X\"", "TokenId=\"" + n + "\""))
break;
n++;
}
