How to quickly autonumber text lists?

[mouser]

In my current build, I have those two edit controls set to insert a tab character when the tab key is used.  However, you will lose the ability to tab out of that control to the next one.  Make sense?

or just support the standard \t for tab and \n for newline

I had no idea about those "standards".  Thanks!  I've run into so many situations where I've wanted to enter characters to indicate new lines and tabs and have given up.

Also, names for this application are welcome.  It's been a while, Cranioscopical...what say you?  =]

I can't argue with this:
 

I actually really like "List Numberer"

Well, they're pretty much standards when it comes to code, regex, etc.  You can't just slap a "\t" in any edit field and expect a tab character to happen.    Anyway, please redownload the zip file.  This version will let you use "\t" to insert tab characters and "\n" to insert newlines.  Let me know how it works out for you.  Thanks.

Also, this latest version should save your settings between sessions.

skwire, this is an amazing tool you've made.  Thanks so much.  I'm using it right now at work and it is working wonderfully.  I owe you one.

[skwire]

Great to hear; I'm glad it's working for you.  Thanks for the feedback.  I think I'm going to submit this as a NANY.

I suspect that for many coders, especially those like skwire, a really nice public thank you like this is more satisfying and rewarding than a donation..

BUT that won't stop me from reminding everyone that the DonationCredit system we implemented makes it possible for you to send people on the forum some donations easily, and that we should all remember to use it as a way of supporting coders whose work we like.

So when you see someone like skwire do these wonderful coding snacks, don't forget to click on the gold coin under his name and send him some of your donation credits, and make sure to specify a nice message when you do to encourage them and let them know how much they are appreciated here!

    + Added Unicode compatibility for Windows XP and later.  You may need
      to delete your config.ini file if the prefix and suffix don't appear
      to be saving properly.
    * Changed the copy-to-clipboard method to better handle various text
      editors.
    ! The \n and \r tokens weren't working properly in all cases.

Can ListNumberer work from the command line?

Would be nice to set it up in a process chain so that, say, 'zero-padding' a folder of files (with titles numbered 1.txt through 1000.txt) is a single 'double-click' operation.

Presto.  It's done.

Thanks Skwire.

No, it cannot.

Hmmm...List Numberer is not a file renamer.  If you're looking to easily renumber files like that, take a look at one of my favourite renamer applications called, oddly enough, ReNamer.  You can easily set up a ruleset that will do what you want like this:

Last two posts by kalos and skwire...

Renamer is awesome!
Textmechanic..yeah!

I love tools like these.

[skwire]

I really like ReNamer because it lets you set up separate renaming "steps" and then save them all as a preset to easily use over and over.  Good stuff.
