Problem with C++

A Former User

I downloaded the Nppexec plugin (the one with the gpup.exe) and had it work.
Then there was some problem with the compiler, I had to change mingw folder name to mingwold. That made the code work. But as soon as I run the program, it opens for a second and then closes. If I use it to input two numbers and show their sum, it exits as soon as it shows the sum. How can I make it not shut itself?
Here’s the code I wrote in nppexec:

npp_save
cd “$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)”
g++ “$(FILE_NAME)” -o $(NAME_PART) -march=native -O3
NPP_RUN $(NAME_PART)

NPP_RUN cmd /K "$(NAME_PART)"

, probably.

Hey, thanks! I don’t understand either of the scripts. So can you tell me what they’re doing?

Typing

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
  npp_save $(#2)   // saves 2nd file opened in Notepad++
  npp_save txt     // saves a first file which contains "txt" in its name
SEE ALSO:
  npp_saveas, npp_saveall, npp_open

Typing

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.
