Add number in each word by Notepad++

Cohenmichael

I made the change. The script is functional!

I have several files (.txt) in a folder. I could not execute the script automatically on all pages. Manually it works obviously!

How to run the script automatically on all pages?

Thanks a lot for your help

automatically

You need to explain what automatically in your case means.
There must be trigger to run the script but for which trigger
are you looking for?
Could you explain what you want to do? Like,
if I start npp and open file x I want to have result y
or
if I start the pc I want to have my coffee machine making me coffee
…
Do you get what I’m looking for?

Sorry if I was not clear.

I want to make a modification on all the words “Hello” existing on all pages name1.txt, name2.txt, … +100 document.txt

When I use Notepad ++, I open my folder contains all documents (.txt) by Folder as WorkSpace.

In this step, I don’t know what to do to change the word “Hello” on all pages automatically with this script.

Ok I see - not that easy - let me think about it.
As I’m leaving the office now I’m following up on this later this day,
unless someone else jumped in and provided a solution with fits your need.

Thanks a lot !

Hi,

I did a search on google, and I made a small modification on the script.

Notepad ++ opens all the pages of the folder, and the change is made only to the last document.txt and the rest is intact.

thank you

-----------The script------------

import os

os.chdir(‘C:\Users\yrkj\Desktop\allfiles’)
list_of_files = [x for x in os.listdir(‘.’) if x.endswith(‘.txt’)]
for file in list_of_files:
notepad.open(file)

from Npp import editor

def add_number(line_content, line_number, total_num_lines):
words = line_content.split(’ ')
for i, word in enumerate(words):
if word == ‘hello’:
words[i] = ‘{}.{}’.format(i, word)
editor.replaceWholeLine(line_number, ’ '.join(words))
notepad.getFiles()
editor.forEachLine(add_number)

notepad.save()
notepad.close()

Put your script in a code block using the </> “toolbar button” when composing. Python relies on indentation when defining blocks, so it is impossible to tell the true logic of your script the way you posted it.

Cohenmichael

I don’t know how to do that !
I don’t have any knowledge about programming scripts for Python, I just tried if it work but it didn’t work.
The published script is targeted only for Ekopalypse, maybe it has ideas to make it work.

You don’t know how to select some text in a post you are composing and press this button??:

Ye Gods, Man!

Sorry, I misunderstood your message.

from Npp import editor

def add_number(line_content, line_number, total_num_lines):
    words = line_content.split(' ')
    for i, word in enumerate(words):
        if word == 'nounous':
            words[i] = '{}.{}'.format(i, word)
    editor.replaceWholeLine(line_number, ' '.join(words))

editor.forEachLine(add_number)
notepad.getFiles()

do you see a need to open each file in notepad,
using editor instance to manipulate it
and then using notepad instance to save and close it?
It could be done with plain file read/write as well.

Test the script extensively before using it in production

Assumptions done by the following script is
Folder as workspace is visible
The word looking for is exactly Hello, not hello or HELLO …
Only the root directory is scanned for files having .txt extension, no recursion aka subdirectories are searched.

I tried 2 operations and the script didn’t work.

1st operation: I opened the folder content all documents (.txt) by Folder as WorkSpace, then I clicked execute the script and displayed this message:

Python 2.7.15 (v2.7.15:ca079a3ea3, Apr 30 2018, 16:22:17) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]
Initialisation took 31ms
Ready.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\yrkj\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\Config\PythonScript\scripts\Hello.py", line 107, in <module>
    user32.SendMessageW(h_systreeview32, TVM_GETITEMW, 0, ctypes.addressof(tvitem))
NameError: name 'h_systreeview32' is not defined

2nd operation :
I opened all documents (.txt) on Notepad++ and I ran the script, no change on all pages, and it didn’t display any message.

I see, not at my computer but I think if you change this lines it should work.

if 'file_browser_treeview' in window_handles:
    h_systreeview32 = window_handles['file_browser_treeview']
    root_nodes = enumerate_root_nodes(h_systreeview32)

Thank you so much. The script works very well !
Thanks again for your precious help :)
