I have a big text file that looks like this: FROM: X STEPS: 10 FROM: X STEPS: 3 ...... ....... ...... ..... ... FROM: X STEPS 5 The X is a constant "X" characters, the steps varies from 1 to 10 with no rule or special consistency. I need the best way to Replace The X char to the REAL "from" number according to the steps. Each FROM is the LAST FORM + STEPS. i.e - to get something like this: FROM: 1 STEPS: 10 FROM: 11 STEPS: 3 FROM: 14 STEPS: 3 FROM: 17 ...... ....
