INSTALLATION
Follow the instructions https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/23039/faq-desk-how-to-install-and-run-a-script-in-pythonscriptto install PythonScript Plugin and save this script as SelectUDLBasedOnShebang.py You will want to follow the “Starutp script” instructions in that FAQ as well, with the following two linesimport SelectUDLBasedOnShebang selectUDLBasedOnShebang = SelectUDLBasedOnShebang.SelectUDLBasedOnShebang()
CONFIGURE:
Go to the line with “CONFIG =” and edit the contents the extension should include the dot in the quotes the firstLineText is the text that should match the “shebang” line (the first line of your file) the NameOfUDL must match the name of your UDL exactly Save Run the script (Plugins > Python Script > Scripts > SelectUDLBasedOnShebang) or restart Notepad++SCRIPT: SelectUDLBasedOnShebang.py
