How to iterate a Global Variable on every run?

I just want to add a new update for this solution with the following improvement:

This improves for any string email so you don’t need to type it and concatenate (the code split the string by the @, so must be that character)

Script 
String number = GlobalVariable.RealtorEmail.split('@')[0].replaceAll("[a-z, +]", "")
	String emailP1 = GlobalVariable.RealtorEmail.split('@')[0].replaceAll("[0-9]", "")
	String emailP2 = GlobalVariable.RealtorEmail.split('@')[1]
	if (number != ""){
		number = Integer.parseInt(number)+1
	}
	else{
		number = 1
	}
	String nextEmail= emailP1 + number.toString() + "@" + emailP2
		
	'Assign new value in real time (not updates the profile)'
	//GlobalVariable.RealtorEmail=nextEmail
	
	'Assign new value in real time (updates the profile with new value)'
	CustomKeywords.'lemonbrew.GlobalVariableUpdater.updatePermanently'("Agent", "RealtorEmail" , nextEmail)

Import the custom keyword “GlobalVariableUpdater.updatePermanently” above from this link How to update GlobalVariable permanently

Here I adapt my script logic above creating this new GlobalVariableUpdater.increaseEmailVariablecustom keyboard below using the custom keyboards created by @Marek_Melocik

NOTE: If you use this any of this keywords in a test Case you probably have an error after every test because the project doesn’t refresh all the files like when a Test Suite ends, so take that in mind. Maybe you can try to refresh it manually going to Project > Refresh (Crtl+F5)
