How can I enter similar lines of code with sublime text with just one char different? - sublimetext2

Question

I have to write code which is like
apple1 =1
banana1 =10
cat1 =100
dog1 =1000
apple2 =2
banana2 =20
cat2 =200
dog2 =2000
.
.
.
<to be done till>
apple50 =50
banana50 =500
cat50 =5000
dog50 =50000
Is there any shortcut to copy paste the first 4 line and keep pasting with running sequence ?
Any level of short cut is appreciated to do this partially or completely.
Thanks

Answer 1

As already mentioned the easiest way to do it is using a programming language, but you can use python in Sublime Text.
Open the ST console ctrl+` and paste:
view.run_command("insert", {"characters": "\n\n".join("apple{0} ={0}\nbanana{0} ={0}0\ncat{0} ={0}00\ndog{0} ={0}000".format(i) for i in range(1, 51))})
this will insert the requested content.
You could also write a plugin using Tools >> New Plugin... and paste:
import sublime
import sublime_plugin
class PasteSequenceCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit):
view = self.view
content = sublime.get_clipboard()
content, sequence_number = content.replace("1", "{0}"), 2
if content == view.settings().get("ps_content"):
sequence_number = view.settings().get("ps_sequence_number") + 1
view.settings().set("ps_content", content)
view.settings().set("ps_sequence_number", sequence_number)
view.run_command("insert", {"characters": content.format(sequence_number)})
Afterwards add keybinding:
{
"keys": ["ctrl+shift+v"],
"command": "paste_sequence"
},
Then you can copy the block containing the 1 and each 1 will increase each time you use the paste sequence command.

For me it seems that this task is not for text editor. It looks more like task for a script. For example in bash it would be like following:
#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 1 50`;
do
echo "apple$i .. ${i}=${i}" >> text.txt
echo "banana$i =${i}0" >> text.txt
echo "cat$i =${i}00" >> text.txt
echo "dog$i =${i}000" >> text.txt
done
To run it:
create file, say inserter.sh
make it executable by chmod +x inserter.sh
run it ./inserter.sh
Result will be in text.txt file in the same folder.

You need to redirect the output to a file.
#!/bin/bash
cntr=1
banana_cntr=10
cat_cntr=100
dog_cntr=1000
for i in `seq 1 1 50`
do
echo "apple${cntr}=$[$cntr * 1]"
echo "banana${cntr}=`expr $cntr \* $banana_cntr`"
echo "cat${cntr}=`expr $cntr \* $cat_cntr`"
echo "dog${cntr}=`expr $cntr \* $dog_cntr`"
cntr="$[cntr + 1]"
echo " "
done
