Powertoys: [Power Rename] Add incrementing number (counter) RegEx feature

Created on 10 Aug 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: microsoft/PowerToys

It is essential to be able to use incrementing numbers for file renaming.
You already have the Enumerate Item option, but it is limited and sometimes not suitable.
For example what if i wanted my counter start at 15, or i don't want the encapsulating round brackets.

Please consider implementing the Regular Expression Counter Operations:

It is in the format %1>15> (which substitutes $1) and means: use the first match in the expression and increment each match starting with number 15.
If no starting value is given %1>> would use the starting value of the first match found.
