help npp_save
in the NppExec Console says:
COMMAND: npp_save
USAGE:
npp_save
npp_save <file>
DESCRIPTION:
1. Saves current file ("npp_save" without parameters)
2. Saves specified file if it's opened in Notepad++
(supports a partial file path/name)
EXAMPLES:
npp_save // saves current file

help cd
in the NppExec Console says:
COMMAND: cd
USAGE:
cd
cd <relative_path>
cd <absolute_path>
DESCRIPTION:
1. Changes current directory ("cd" with parameters)
2. Shows current directory path ("cd" without parameters)
EXAMPLES:
cd // shows current directory path
cd .. // go to up-directory
cd \ // go to root-directory
cd $(NPP_DIRECTORY) // go to notepad++'s directory
cd e:\temp // change drive and directory
SEE ALSO:
dir
Typing
help npp_run
in the NppExec Console says:
COMMAND: npp_run
USAGE:
npp_run <command>
npp_run <file>
DESCRIPTION:
1. The same as Notepad++'s Run command - runs an external process
2. Opens specified file in its associated program (requires NppExec v0.2 RC3.1 or higher)
EXAMPLES:
npp_run calc.exe (*)
* if you type just "calc.exe" without "npp_run", then NppExec runs
"calc.exe" as a child process and waits until it returns (i.e. until
you close the calc's window)
npp_run "index.html" // opens "index.html" in your default web-browser
npp_run "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "index.html" // in Firefox
npp_run "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" // opening using the associated program
REMARKS:
In terms of an application (a program), NPP_RUN allows to run it in its own
window without waiting for its execution:
npp_run application.exe
npp_run application.exe <arguments>
If, however, there is a need to wait until the application has been executed,
while still running it in its own window, it can be achieved without NPP_RUN:
cmd /c start /wait application.exe
cmd /c start /wait application.exe <arguments>
In this last case, NppExec waits for cmd to be executed, while cmd itself
starts the application in its own separate window and waits until it has
been executed.
