How to quickly autonumber text lists?
superboyac:
hmmm...pspad and boxer are both good, but still missing significant elements. In pspad, I still can't enter a 'tab' between the number and text. I guess that's what it all boils down to: customizeable characters before/after the numbering.
Maybe this is a regex thing?

Often when I write, I make lists. I number the lists manually.

out of curiousity, what software do you use to write the lists?

Well, I don't use a special software for writing lists. I'm just always coming across situations where I have to RE-number lists that I or somebody else has already made. These lists are in Word, emails, notes, etc.

It really wouldn't take much to write a quickie Coding Snack to cover this. May I assume these are simple text lists? Not some crazy-ass formatted Word doc mumbo-jumbo?

Yes, just text. No styling whatsoever. It's all cut and pasted back and forth between applications.

Do you ever have need to zero-pad the numbering?
