Put the cursor after the first line, i.e.:

text ts[]

and type F3 F3 down F4 Ctrl-5 F4

Afterwards, I'd recommend reading the docs for kmacro.

M-x replace-regexp RET ^.*$ RET \&\,(+ 100 \#) RET

\# stands for replace-count. The TO expression can contain in GNU  
Emacs 22 a function, with formats or such.

Nice, and obviously quite powerful.

For simple cases like the one the OP asked for, I'd suggest kmacro though.

I didn't get the macro solution... I guess you're assuming some
special shortcuts?
Can you please tell me which commands are  you running on each of
them ?
Thanks

No special shortcuts. In Emacs 22.1, F3 is
`kmacro-start-macro-or-insert-counter' and F4 is
`kmacro-end-or-call-macro'. See the file kmacro.el in the Emacs lisp
source directory, and the "Keyboard Macros" node in the info docs.

That is very cool!
Is there an easy way to start in 100, for example? What about
decreasing? Or counting at 2 increments?
TIA

I'd really recommend reading the docs.

Ok, i read the docs.. but there is still one thing i'm not able to do:
siga(0) <= siga(0);
siga(1) <= siga(1);
siga(2) <= siga(2);
...

Is there a way to insert the current counter value without
incrementing it?
(I know I could just yank and paste the value inside the macro, but
that would be less elegant)

TIA,
weber

Errata: I meant something like
signalA(0) <= signalB(0);
signalA(1) <= signalB(1);
signalA(2) <= signalB(2);
Not siga(0) <= siga(0) :)

F3 "signalA(" F3 ") <= signalB(" C-u F3 ")" RET F4
F4 F4...

I'd *really* recommend reading the docs. That's clearly described in
the docstring for `kmacro-start-macro-or-insert-counter', which you
can access with C-h k f3.

Just in case anyone was worried that emacs has only two solutions to
this problem, there is a third way ..... :)

Turn on CUA mode (M-x cua-mode)

Move to the end of the first line and type C-return (cua-set-rectangle-
mark).

Now move to the end of the last line and type M-n (cua-sequence-
rectangle). You will be prompted for a starting value, an increment
and a format string.

Don't know where I got this, but this is what I use:

(defun another-line (num-lines)
  "Copies line, preserving cursor column, and increments any numbers found.
Copies a block of optional NUM-LINES lines.  If no optional argument is given,
then only one line is copied."
  (interactive "p")
  (if (not num-lines) (setq num-lines 0) (setq num-lines (1- num-lines)))
  (let* ((col (current-column))
         (bol (save-excursion (forward-line (- num-lines)) (beginning-of-line) (point)))
         (eol (progn (end-of-line) (point)))
         (line (buffer-substring bol eol)))
    (goto-char bol)
    (while (re-search-forward "[0-9]+" eol 1)
      (let ((num (string-to-number (buffer-substring
                                 (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0)))))
        (replace-match (int-to-string (1+ num))))
      (setq eol (save-excursion (goto-char eol) (end-of-line) (point))))
    (goto-char bol)
    (insert line "\n")
    (move-to-column col)))
(global-set-key (kbd "M-O") 'another-line)

Enchanter,

there's more than one way to skin the cat,
this is how you do it using registers.

Key binding are for XEmacs;
YMMV on Emacs.

Move to the first line and enter

C-u 10 C-x r n a
C-x ( END C-x r i a C-x r + a HOME DOWN C-x )
C-u 5 C-x e


The bindings are
C-x r n    number-to-register
C-x r i    insert-register
C-x r +    increment-register

increment-register defaults to 1; it can take
an integer prefix for decrementing or incrementing
by other values.



HTH,
Colin S. Miller
