[ILUG] RE: Vim macro for autoincrementing an integer

[Rory Winston]

Hi,

Found a macro (written by VIm guru Benji FIsher) that does the below, but I
cant seem to get it to work in my .vimrc. Do I need to use exec or normal to
run this substitution? I want to put it in an exisiting function that is
called whenever a certain filetype is written (C, Perl, Java, etc). BTW,
I've just moved to Vim 6 (as of 10 minutes ago :-)) so if you have a version
6 -specific method, thats OK

Cheers

Rory

:s/\(version.*\)\(\d\{2,3}\)/\=submatch(1).(1+submatch(2))/
