Looking for a coder or someone that can use python (will pay)

It seems like a pretty simple task

I have a long list of coding, that i need some numbers changed

Theres about 30k lines that have "0000" in them, and i need them changed to be ascending (e.g. 0000-9999) I could do this by hand and change them 1 by 1, but thats fucked, is there anyone that can do some scripting shit to do it by program? let me know

 

This is easy to do as long as the characters are not encrypted.
Upload the file n i'll make a proggy for it.

 

Something like this?

Code:

inputFile = open("input.txt", "r")

lines = inputFile.readlines()
inputFile.close()

outputFile = open("output.txt", "w")

for lineNumber, line in enumerate(lines):
    newLine = line.replace("0000", str('%04d' % lineNumber))
    outputFile.write(newLine)
    
outputFile.close()

 

I'd probably do it for free in Python if you be a little more specific or upload the file. Can't really uniquely number 30k lines with 0000-9999.

 

Damnit, seems like i need one of you guys now, pmed all of you

 

Must it be done in Python?

 

any program that can do it i'll be happy with

 

I can make you this too if you want, PM me. It'll take me like 10 minutes.

 

It's ok guys, this can be closed I already found someone to do it for me, turned out to be 370k lines ( 5mb .txt file), thanks for the requests!
