Looking for the help of resident Python experts ;)
I am trying to set up a script to work with Techs file.
Specifically for example to move all techs gridX 1 position to the right.
I been searching the net and I found a script that does almost what I need, but need some work. The Python screen below is loaded into Notepad++ and run on the file you want to affect.
the current script can be used to find every instance of gridX value and replace it with a variable incremented in a loop at +1 value.
So first gridX value found becomes 1, 2nd becomes 2, etc.
Of course that's not exactly what I need - I need the script to read in the value and then increment it by 1, and then write it back.
From what I believe, there is only like 1 line that needs to be changed.
Would you please look at it for me?
thank you!
