NppExec (plugin for Notepad++)

NppExec (plugin for Notepad++)

Here is some brief info about NppExec for new users:

• NppExec adds a Console window at the bottom of Notepad++'s window; This Console window allows to run different console programs directly in it; Also there is Plugins -> NppExec -> Execute... window that allows to execute NppExec's scripts (set of commands).
• NppExec's commands and variables are listed in the "NppExec.txt" file.
• To get more details, type "help" (without the quotes) directly in NppExec's Console. To get a detailed help about any NppExec's command, type "help [command]" - e.g. "help npp_open" or "help set". And don't forget about Plugins -> NppExec -> Help/Manual.

Installation:

• Just unpack the NppExec zip-archive (the last *dll*.zip under either https://github.com/d0vgan/nppexec/releases or https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/NppExec/) to the folder "Notepad++\plugins". It will extract the file "NppExec.dll" as well as the "doc\NppExec" and "NppExec" subfolders (the latter one contains header files used by NppExec at runtime).
• The only difference between the *dll*.zip and *dll*_PA.zip is the plugin folder structure. The *dll*.zip corresponds to the plugin folder structure prior to Notepad++ 7.6.x, whereas the *dll*_PA.zip follows the new plugin folder structure introduced in Notepad++ 7.6.x together with the Plugins Admin.
