notepad++ regex replace “00” with “01”, “02”, “03” etc

Question

I have a file which repeats the same code, but now I would like to use Regex to replace the "00" where it is found, but increment each time.

Here is the original file:

<li onclick="tab.location.href='http://stackoverflow.com'" style="text-align: center;"><b>ep 00</b></li>

<li onclick="tab.location.href='http://stackoverflow.com/'" style="text-align: center;"><b>ep 00</b></li>

<li onclick="tab.location.href='http://stackoverflow.com/'" style="text-align: center;"><b>ep 00</b></li>

I want to use regex in notepad++ to make it like this :

<li onclick="tab.location.href='http://stackoverflow.com'" style="text-align: center;"><b>ep 00</b></li>

<li onclick="tab.location.href='http://stackoverflow.com/'" style="text-align: center;"><b>ep 01</b></li>

<li onclick="tab.location.href='http://stackoverflow.com/'" style="text-align: center;"><b>ep 02</b></li>

i want to change "ep 00" inside the tag to be ep 01, ep 02, ep 03 ... ep 711 etc ....

Thanks

Answer 1

as said before on the comments. Regex is not able of such task ... you can do though using a calc program ... OpenOffice Calc LibreOffice Calc BrOffice.org Calc Microsoft Office Excell you just need to something like this

or the js solution

var holderelement=document.body;
var howmanylinksyouwant=3;
for (var i=0;i<howmanylinksyouwant;i++){
var li=document.createElement("li");
li.onclick=function(){location.href="stackoverflow.com";}
li.style.textAlign="center";
li.innerHTML="<b>ep "+i+"</b>" holderelement.append(li);
}
