Visual Studio Code: Incremental numbers at different position in hex form-CodePudding

I am looking for a method where I place cursors at different positions, and then place numbers at those positions in hex form such that numbers are ranging from 8 to 10, in two digit format, as following:

case_
case_
case_
case_
case_
case_
case_
case_
case_

into :

case_08
case_09
case_0A
case_0B
case_0C
case_0D
case_0E
case_0F
case_10

Anyone knows any key(combination) to do that?

With extension

If you want the hex numbers to start over at 08 no matter how many you select initially, use this replace:

  // with this version you just select the whole block and the numbers will run from 08 - 10 and start over at 08, see demo

{
  "key": "alt n",
  "command": "findInCurrentFile",
  "args": {

    "find": "(?<=case_)",  // added this to previous version

    "replace": [
      "$${",
            
      "let result = ${matchIndex} % 9   8;",      // added the '% 9' to wrap at 08
      "return result.toString(16).padStart(2,'0').toUpperCase();",
      
      "}$$"
    ],
    "isRegex": true,
    "restrictFind": "selections"    // added this, find just in selections
  },
}
