Note that the very first "#start#" starts with a lower-case 's', while the rest start with upper-case 'S';

Fixing that, try this as a BBEdit text filter (between the '###'s:

###
#!/usr/bin/env perl

my $incr        = 1;    
local $/        = "#Start#\n";
        
while (<>) {
        s/^1/$incr++/es;
        print;
}
###

This sets the "end of line" to "#Start#\n", which puts the number 1 as the first character of the next line. Within the loop over these "lines", the filter substitutes an incrementing number for that '1'.
