I think you will need to do this in Perl, I don't think BBedit/regex can
remember anything it met and passed previously and change its value.

I've been searching through the forum recently and earlier in the year
for a solution to a problem I have in updating some text documents I'm
working with in BBEdit. My document is in XML format and one of the
elements contains an attribute with a text string like
"KyChr-DB-B-001", the next "KyChr-DB-B-002, and so on for about 250
entries. I found I had missed an entry around 040. Rather than
manually change every occurrence, I'm sure there is a way to script
this like a search and replace from a starting point in the document
or selecting the part of the document and applying the changes to that
part. I'm familiar with Regex, Grep, but don't know of any way to do
the mathematical addition to turn the found n part of the string to n+1.
None of the posts I've found so far has a script that I've thought I
could modify to do this. What would be the best path for me to start
down. I've not used Applescript in a long time but I could modify
one if it were very close to what I needed. I know there are some
other scripting options in BBEdit.
If this is an easy solution and anyone knows the location of a script
that is close enough I could modify, it would save me a lot of time.
Or at least if somebody could point me in a direction as to which
scripting system or BBEdit function I should pursue.
Thank you,
Michael B.
