Consider a list of items - you wish to number them sequentially.
Search | < |
Replace | cnt": " |
The list starts as
Item
Item
Item
Item
Item
Item
And after running the above Search and Replace on that list you get
1: Item
2: Item
3: Item
4: Item
5: Item
6: Item
< sets a flag that mark the start of a line.
cnt calls the Replace counter. In this case we wanted the count to use default values (start at 1, increment 1) so we did not need to click on the Counter in the Advanced Search and Replace dialog box to set anything.
": " is a string of literal characters (colon - space in this example) that are used just as they are.
Of course you could renumber paragraphs just as easily:
Search | << |
Replace | cnt": " |
