Using beanshell to increment search results

Submitted by lg on Monday, 4 April, 2011 - 13:31

I have an xml with products: 0000007 The problem is that all serial numbers are the same. It is easy enough to search for the serial number but I want to increment the value, maybe using beanshell, for every new search hit. Is that possible? My thought was to convert the serial number to an int and increase the number but I guess this requires a global variable to be used as a counter. Can beanshell use global/persistent variables in the search dialog in jEdit? I am a fairly good java programmer but a novice with bsh and would very much appreciate some hints about where to start.

Ha, the formatting got all sc

Ha, the formatting got all screwed up. A new attempt with the > and < replaced with [ and ]

I have an xml with products:

[device]
____[serialNumber]0000007[/serialNumber]
____[a lot of other data]
[/device]

Beanshell

1. Global variables in Beanshell are the ones that are initialized in:
a) a jedit startup script, or
b) the Beanshell console of Console Plugin

2. That said, You have to do 2 things for Your replace:
a) Set the start value of a global counter in Beanshell Console: "k=1"
b. Replace with snippet: "Long.parseLong(_0)+(k++)"

Maybe You need some formatting for the output value in the snippet...
