Can I get some help, how to go about in implementing this?
First, I'd learn a language of my choice. Then, in said language, I would:
  1. Get coffee (I recommend Java).
  2. Open the original file for reading.
  3. Open a new file for writing.
  4. Read in the original file, in chunks.
  5. For each chunk:
    1. Locate data I want to modify.
    2. Change the chunk so the value is incremented.
    3. Write the modified chunk to the new file.
  6. Close both open files.
  7. Move the new file over the original one.
  8. Finish coffee.
  9. Profit!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
