how to run my python script using (pythonscript for npp) to multiple opened files

Redeye123

As of now i got this working in a single file

def times_2(m):
    return 'unit_reward_per_km: ' + str(int(m.group(1)) * 2)

editor.rereplace('unit_reward_per_km: ([0-9]+)', times_2);
notepad.save()

But i need to change 200+ files and after 10 i was allready done with doing it manual . after some searching i found this but i dont know how to implement the above to the new script (I kept getting times_2 needs exact 1 argument but none given ) . and only the last file gets changed

from Npp import *

def forEachFile(func):
	for file in notepad.getFiles():
		notepad.activateBufferID(file[1])
		func()
        
def times_2(m):
    return 'unit_reward_per_km: ' + str(int(m.group(1)) * 2)

def printFilename():
	print notepad.getCurrentFilename()

editor.rereplace('unit_reward_per_km: ([0-9]+)', times_2);
notepad.save()

# store the current buffer id
currentBufferID = notepad.getCurrentBufferID()
# run our printFilename function on each open file
forEachFile(printFilename)
# restore the current buffer from the stored buffer id.
notepad.activateBufferID(currentBufferID)

Anyone able to help me out ?

Looks like half done with print filename… and multiple and single file code tested.

from Npp import *

def forEachFile():
	for file in notepad.getFiles():
		notepad.activateBufferID(file[1])
		notepad.getCurrentFilename()
		editor.rereplace('unit_reward_per_km: ([0-9]+)', times_2)
		notepad.save()

def times_2(m):
	return 'unit_reward_per_km: ' + str(int(m.group(1)) * 2)

forEachFile()

You had most of the code already done. Just needed are little rearrangement to insert it into the loop.

In code I posted, notepad.getCurrentFilename() will print nothing unless preceded with the print statement or use the console object console.write(notepad.getCurrentFilename()) method. That will output some progress to the console.

I would do your for loop this way instead:

for (filename, bufferID, index, view) in notepad.getFiles():
        notepad.activateBufferID(bufferID)
        print(notepad.getCurrentFilename()
        # ...

Yea i copied alot to help myself out and it worked in one so i had to be close the printname was just something that was in a piece of code :P and forgot to remove it when i posted it here . Thank you !
