title: Notepad++ replacing a series of characters with numbers
body: <p>I have a document in which I have to replace some special characters with numbers in ascending order.
  I have marked those characters as "&amp;&amp;", I have to replace first 14 &amp;&amp; with 1, next 14 &amp;&amp; with 2, next 14 &amp;&amp; with 3 and so on....next 14 &amp;&amp; with 250.
  Is there a better and fast way to do it. 
  Thanks..</p>
