feat: Improve increment function to update only last number

[Usaldudo]

The function increment(string, amount) has been refined to update only the last number in the provided string, simplifying its behaviour. Key changes include:

1. Single Number Increment: The function now focuses on incrementing only the last number in the given string.

Example Usage

increment("1.2.3", 5); // Output: "1.2.8"

These changes aim to streamline the increment function for scenarios where updating only the last number is desired. Please review and merge as needed.

Thank you very much! I created a new release (v2.09) with this change included.

@Usaldudo I noticed this new function doesn't work with negative numbers. For example if you increment -3 by 1, it returns -4 instead of -2. This worked correctly using the old function.

I guess the reason is that it doesnt take into account any - sign when searching for the last number. So maybe you can fix this if you have the time.

Hi,
Thank you for your message. I appreciate your concern about the updates to the code. I've reviewed the commits: b7d20a1 (the old commit) and 2b3b258 (my commit).
After thoroughly checking both commits and conducting tests using the increment("-3", 1); function call, I can confirm that the result is indeed "-4" in both cases. This suggests that the behaviour remains consistent between the old and new versions of the code.
I've run tests in a GitHub Action. Here are the log links for comparison:

@Usaldudo Hi, thanks for your response! I cannot view your logs, because I get a AuthenticationFailed message. But I also did a test in this Action to show the problem:

https://github.com/action-pack/increment/actions/runs/9314390357/job/25638479963

When the value is -4, and you increment by 1 it should be -3 like in the previous version. But in your code the result is -5 instead:

Succesfully incremented TEST from -4 to -5.

Then when you increment that -5 result by -2 the result should be -7 but in your version the result is -3:

Succesfully decremented TEST from -5 to -3.

Maybe I am doing something wrong or overlooking something?

EDIT: It seems that this wrong behaviour also happens with the old code. I was sure that it worked correctly in the past, thats why I thought it was caused by your modification. But now it seems it never worked correctly, sorry.
