When editing the source code of an application, you sometimes have to decrease or increase a list of numbers incrementally; for example, when editing a list of numerical variable values. Doing it by hand can take a long time and be quite tedious. While several other text editors for the Mac OS X operating system allow you to edit the source code of applications, Textmate incorporates a tool which automatically increments a selected list of numbers.
- Difficulty:
- Moderately Easy
Instructions
-
- 1
Launch Textmate and open the file that you wish to edit.
- 2
Select the list of numbers with your mouse.
- 3
Right-click on the list, hover your mouse over “Numbers” and select “Increment.”
- 4
Select either “Incremental increase” or “Incremental decrease” and type the number you want the program to add to each item in the list. Click on “OK.”
