Hello sathish-kulal,

the builtin function is Run (F5) which can execute an external program together with your file
provided as a parameter.
See here for a more detailed description.
This means you can run batch files, python script, c program and so on but you provide your
complete file like

cmd /k python.exe “$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)”

“$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)” is the path of the active document.

In this article it is also mentioned that there is a plugin called NppExec which has much more functionality.
Maybe worth to try it as well.

Cheers
Claudia
