Copy and Increment Text Improvements

1) Add an alpha mode to increment text
With an increment of 1 Alpha mode would Increase 11A to 11B, ..., 11Z, 11AA etc
2) Add first and/or last option so"T22a" could be incremented to both "U22a" and "T22b" or "U23b" if numeric was also on
3) Tools should also work on text nodes such asX 123 Y 456

    Here is another tool that uses alpha increment. It could be adapted to do exactly what you need.
    BUGVA_Place_Increment_Text.mvba This is an application to place incrementing text, both Numeric and Alpha, and with or without a prefix and or suffix. It will also check to see if a duplicate value is already in the active file.

    Hello Keith,

    Thank you for the great idea. We are working on text this season and will investigate the best way to implement your idea. We will reach out once we have a timeline.

    Best regards,
