Re^3: To remove duplicate lines and add digits as per loop

There are so many ways to achieve that.

Change the pattern in the regular expression to match only those lines you want.
Make the substitution conditional on your pattern beforehand: /pat/ and s///
Don't munge any lines which don't match: next unless /pat/

Pick one and implement it.
