I should note that I've somewhat scoured the net in search of something like what I'm about to describe, to no avail.
The program I have in mind will need to have the ability to search for wildcards (several utils do this), and perform a sort of incremented replace...for example, in a text file containing
0000000A
Heheheh
0000000F
0000000H

00000004
...If I performed a Search and Replace for 0000000? (with wildcards enabled, "?" would act as a single character wildcard, as it does in several other programs), and gave 0000000[0&1] ("[0&1]" being an example of syntax for "start at 0, increment by 1 each time the searched-for string is encountered", perhaps), the program would yield the result
00000000
Heheheh

I realize this is a somewhat complex concept, but I'd be surprised if such a program hadn't been made already.
Anyone have an idea if there's something around like this?
