I want to embed a number in each file, but INCREMENT the number ever n files.......
For example, I have a set of files:
5133_canada.NEF _ _ _ so 5133.nef through 5135.xmp should have "01" embedded......
5133_canada.xmp
5134_canada.NEF
5134_canada.xmp
5135_canada.NEF
5135_canada.xmp _ _ _ end of group 01
5136_canada.NEF _ _ _ new group
5136_canada.xmp
5137_canada.NEF
5137_canada.xmp
5138_canada.NEF
5138_canada.xmp _ _ _ end of group 02
5139_canada.NEF
5139_canada.xmp
5140_canada.NEF
5140_canada.xmp
5141_canada.NEF
5141_canada.xmp
...
.....
Each set of three file pairs (a nef and an xmp is a pair) is a group,
so 5133.nef through 5135.xmp should have "01" embedded......
The next set 5136.nef through 5138.xmp should have "02" embedded......
They should look like
5133_01_canada.NEF _ _ _ "01"-group of six.
5133_01_canada.xmp
5134_01_canada.NEF
5134_01_canada.xmp
5135_01_canada.NEF
5135_01_canada.xmp
5136_02_canada.NEF _ _ _ "02"-group of six.
5136_02_canada.xmp
5137_02_canada.NEF
5137_02_canada.xmp
5138_02_canada.NEF
5138_02_canada.xmp
and so on.....

Next time, my group may be 5 pairs instead of three, so I need a way
to specify how many files should be each embedded number.
How do I do this?

I'd also love to know if this is possible.
I'm trying to figure out how to append series numbers in groups of 5, or 8, etc,
to a larger list of files, exactly as dkperez was asking. Is this possible to do in x?

Just enter this two rules:

1) Insert: Insert "_" at Position 5 (skip extension)
2) Serialize: Serialize Incremental from 1 step 1 repeat 6 and pad to length 2 at Position 6
