@Raúl-ALR ,
The instructions for installing and running this script are in the FAQ: How to install and run a script in PythonScript
The script-specific instructions are found in the script’s code itself.

"""in response to https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/23339/pasting-copied-text-in-a-search-window-in-a-macro
This searches in the "objects" file for every line:
<ObjectRef ref="..."/>
It grabs the ref ID, and searches for that ID in the "hosts" file
<Host id="id4843X9273" name="object_name" comment="" ro="False">
It grabs the name field from the matching line in the "hosts" file
It then replaces the whole <ObjectRef.../> with that name field
In the lines below, change the paths to the two files:
- The first path is the "objects" file,
- The second is the "hosts" file.
- Both must be opened in Notepad++, but it doesn't matter which view they are in.
- Full paths are required.
It makes it a single undo action, so if you don't like the results, you can just hit UNDO

If you want to ever customize these, the editor.rereplace(...) line starts with the regex that will match lines in the “objects” file and put the ref-ID value in group(1); the editor.research(...) line starts with the regex that will find the specific ref-ID in the “hosts” file, and grab the value of the host name out of there.
