A simple addon can be usefull for infographics, data vizualisation or motion-design. On chosen text blocks addon replace all text with a number, that can be set from property panel. You can animate this number, or set driver on it.
Take from here: http://multlabs.com/blog/item/18-animirovannyj-tekst.html - link after same picture:
I actually made something like that but it’s just a functionality from a “complete” addon. In my case, you have to enter a text and use %number in order to define a variable who can be modified through time.
Exemple : “%0 bottles of beer on the wall”
In fact, the script was done firstly in order to be able to change completely the text in some frames (kinda like a keyframe).
Don’t try to search here, I didn’t shared in an English forum (I’m French).
EDIT : I added it since.
