Ah! It works
I should have read Help carefully.

thanks.

how do we re-number them once it has been numbered?

I wonder if this might help

	var src = "var17 = Item17.Lookup('Name17');"

	var re = /d+/g;

	var arr;

	while ((arr = re.exec(src)) != null)

	   document.writeln(arr.index + "-" + arr.lastIndex + "t" + arr);

	

this shows

	3-5	17

	12-14	17

	27-29	17

try this

	// save current position

	var g_curX = document.selection.GetActivePointX(eePosLogical);

	var g_curY = document.selection.GetActivePointY(eePosLogical);

	

	function newLine() {

		// make new line

		document.selection.EndOfLine(false,eeLineView);

		document.selection.NewLine(1);

	}

	

	function main() {

		var line;

		if (document.selection.IsEmpty) {

			// get current single line

			document.selection.StartOfLine(false, eeLineLogical);

			document.selection.EndOfLine(true, eeLineLogical);

			line = document.selection.Text;

		} else {

			line = document.selection.Text;

		}

	

		if (line.indexOf('#')>0) {

			var strNum = prompt("how many times do you want to repeat?", "10");

			repeatnum = parseInt(strNum);

	

			// is it numeric?

			if (!isNaN(repeatnum)) {

	

				newLine();

	

				// do repeat

				for (var i=1; i<=repeatnum; i++) {

					document.writeln(line.replace(/#/g, i));

				}

			}

		}

	

		document.selection.Collapse();

		document.selection.SetActivePoint(eePosLogical, g_curX, g_curY);

	}

	

	main();
