It’s impossible to know for sure without seeing your code, but I doubt the issue has anything to do with Notepad++.
If this “global variable” is supposed to be shared between multiple C++ source files, you have to do the following:
declare the variable in a header file as extern, e.g.:
// your_header.h
#include <string>
extern const std::string configFile;
include “your_header.h” in every source file that uses configFile .
provide a definition (at global scope) of configFile in one (and only one) of the source files that includes “your_header.h”:
// source_file.cpp
#include "your_header.h"
// ...
const std::string configFile = "/plugins/config/verilogConfig.txt";
// ...
You can read about storage class specifiers to learn more.
