This looks somewhat complicated.

Are you trying to change page numbers for elements?
Like what is meant to happen if the last digit is an 8 or 9?
238-9 becomes 230-1 OR 240-1 OR 240-11
237-9 becomes 239-1 OR 239-41 OR 239-11

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the reply.
This is an index that's had a couple of pages added so page 123-4 becomes 125-6. My problem at the moment is that 123-4 becomes 125-4. Page numbers following "-" are not changing. This is the main problem that I want to solve.
Thanks for any help
