StringReplaceWithI

Overview

Simple text search and replace tool with optional use of an iterator.

Requirements

.NET 8

Installation

Unpack StringReplaceWithI.zip

Usage

This program can search and replace strings in text just like a regular text editor. However, you can use an iterator when replacing a string. The iterator has the following pattern: \i{init, step, sign}, where init is the initial value (default 1), step is the step that determines the increment or decrement of the iterator (default 1) and sign is either a + or - character that determines the direction of the iteration (default +). This means that each parameter is optional. You can use more than one iterator in a replacement string. You can also use a regular expression to search for a string.

Examples of iterators

\i - iterator with initial value of 1, increment 1, resulting in 1, 2, 3, ...

\i{5} - iterator with initial value of 5, increment 1, resulting in 5, 6, 7, ...

\i{0, 5} - iterator with initial value of 0, increment 5, resulting in 0, 5, 10, ...

\i{0, 5, -} - iterator with initial value of 0, decrement 5, resulting in 0, -5, -10, ...

\i{100, 2, -} - iterator with initial value of 100, decrement 2, resulting in 100, 98, 96, ...
