Good then, just wanted to make sure you weren't being surprised
by the behavior...I just tested it with a simple file with rows
of numbers and it worked with the [count] prefix:
:g/^\d/norm 16^A
(with the ^A as described). I also tested against the OP's data
and it worked for me.
Additionally, in my test case (with numbers on each line), you
can just use the :norm command with the range as detailed at
:help :normal-range
and just issue
:%norm 16^A
(if any lines shouldn't be incremented, using a smarter :g
command would be better)
