You can use the Visual Incrementing script to convert a block of numbers selected via Ctrl-v (visual block) into a column of increasing integers. Select the column then enter :I to replace the selection. The first line's number is used as a starting value, and the number in each subsequent line is incremented by one.
If the Ctrl-v block is "ragged right", which can happen when "$" is used to select the right hand side, the block will have spaces appended as needed to straighten it out. If the strlen of the count exceeds the visual-block allotment of spaces, then additional spaces will be inserted.
Example: Put cursor on topmost zero, select column with Ctrl-v, then enter :I
vector[0] = 1; vector[0] = 1; vector[0] = 1; vector[1] = 1; vector[0] = 1; --> vector[2] = 1; vector[0] = 1; vector[3] = 1; vector[0] = 1; vector[4] = 1;

Comments[]
The vis.vim script at Visual Block Commands can apply a substitute to a visual-block.
visincr.vim supports:
:I<CR> will use the first line's number as a starting point, incrementing by 1 :I #<CR> like :I, but will increment by given number; negative numbers work fine :II<CR> will pad on left as needed, otherwise like :I :II #<CR> like :II, but will increment by given number
An additional script, calutil.vim, adds some calendrical date to/from Julian day conversion functions. With those, visincr.vim now has new commands:
IMDY [incr]: make a column of month/day/year datesIYMD [incr]: make a column of year/month/day datesIDMY [incr]: make a column of day/month/year datesID [incr]: make a column of day names
The optional incr (default value is 1) can be positive or negative. Both scripts are available at Vim Functions.
