I need to create 210 checkboxes each with unique names, id's and label for
values.
The checkboxes reside in tables, where there are 6 checkboxes to a table.
I've manually done this for 54 checkboxes (9 tables), and want to automate the creation of the last 156 checkboxes (26 tables).
I therefore want to automate the incrementation of:
label for
value This is the simplest way I can see to do it:
Create the base structure for 26 tables (see below).
Use the Text Pastry plugin for Sublime Text.
Use a variant of this example:

With the instructions to:
Is this the sort of thing that Text Pastry was designed to do?
If so, and it's not too large a task to explain, specific directions would be appreciated.
<!-- BEGIN table 10 -->
<tr>
<td class="area_checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox00" id="checkbox00" class="css-checkbox" />
<label for="checkbox00" class="css-label">custom_text_A</label>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="area_checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox00" id="checkbox00" class="css-checkbox"/>
<label for="checkbox00" class="css-label">custom_text_B</label>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>

<!-- BEGIN table 11 -->

<!-- ... etc, continue for 26 tables -->
Update/Solution
Here's a Python script I put together quickly that seems to do what I want it to do:
my_string = "<tr><td class=\"area_checkbox\"> \
<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox00\" id=\"checkbox00\" class=\"css-checkbox\" /> \
<label for=\"checkbox00\" class=\"css-label\">custom_text_00</label> \
</td></tr>"
growing_string = ""
cb_suffix = 55
text_suffix = 1
for i in range(156):
if text_suffix <= 6:
temp_string = my_string.replace("checkbox00", "checkbox" + str(cb_suffix),3)
temp_string_2 = temp_string.replace("custom_text_00", "custom_text_0" + str(text_suffix))
growing_string += temp_string_2
cb_suffix += 1
text_suffix += 1
else:
text_suffix = 1
temp_string = my_string.replace("checkbox00", "checkbox" + str(cb_suffix),3)
temp_string_2 = temp_string.replace("custom_text_00", "custom_text_0" + str(text_suffix))
growing_string += temp_string_2
cb_suffix += 1
text_suffix += 1
print growing_string
Then I copied the output to JSFiddle
and clicked TidyUp
to format it :).
Sample Output:
<tr>
<td class="area_checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox55" id="checkbox55" class="css-checkbox" />
<label for="checkbox55" class="css-label">custom_text_01</label>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="area_checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox56" id="checkbox56" class="css-checkbox" />
<label for="checkbox56" class="css-label">custom_text_02</label>
</td>
</tr>
