How to increment environment variable in 5

I want to use, each time i'm running the test suit, a different set of parameters:

{
  "Company": {
    "Name": "CompnayName1040",
    "FullName": "FullName1040",
    "phone": "0505551040"}
}

Meaning after each test run i'm running last test that will increment by 5 the above variables

When running this code the result phone number is: 05055510405

cy.readFile('cypress.env.json', ).then( (envVars) => {
cy.log('Old cypress.env.json.Employee.phone: '+envVars.Employee.phone);
envVars.Employee.phone = String(envVars.Employee.phone).replace(/(\d{4})$/, function(n){ return n+=5 });
cy.log('New cypress.env.json.Employee.phone: '+envVars.Employee.phone);
}

i was expecting the phone number to be 0505551045

If you are looking to use unique strings, you can also use the lodash, which is bundled with Cypress, function .random(). Example

Name = `CompanyName${Cypress._.random(9999)}` // random number between 0 and 9999

To bump the phone number, work with the last 7 digits.

This will preserve your leading "0".

const head = envVars.Employee.phone.substr(0,3)
const tail = envVars.Employee.phone.substr(3)
const bumped = +tail+5
envVars.Employee.phone = `${head}${bumped}`

Using @jjhelguero's idea for random numbers, you might like to try use fakerjs phoneNumber

envVars.Employee.phone = faker.phone.phoneNumber('05055510##')
