Do the following

• copy the script

• goto Plugins->Python Script->New Script

• give it a meaningful name and press save button

• paste the script into the newly ceated document

• save it

• open one of your BR! Source files

• click on Plugins->Python Script->Scripts->NAME_OF_THE_NEWLY_CREATED_PYTHONSCRIPT

If you want to know the details, let me know.

[Eko palypse]

btw, when it works like you want and want it to be available automatically
on every npp startup we need to create a USER startup.py but
I guess this can be discussed it the script is useful to you at all

[Michael Miller31]

Thanks for putting the time into this!

First, will this work on 64 bit N++?

I had some trouble finding a version of Python Script that was compatible but I managed to find a beta version.

also, I’m getting this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:\Users\mmiller\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\Config\PythonScript\scripts\create_strings.py”, line 4, in <module>
import ctypes
File “C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib\ctypes_init_.py”, line 7, in <module>
from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array
ImportError: No module named _ctypes

[Eko palypse]

Yes, as I’m using x64 version as well.
Where did you download pythonscript plugin from?
Why didn’t you use Plugin Manager?
The official release channel for python script plugin is here .

[Michael Miller31]

I don’t have plugin manager so I went through http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php?title=Plugin_Central .

Thanks for dealing with my idiocy. Going through plugin manager worked perfectly. Is there any way I can donate for your time?

@Michael-Miller31

Is there any way I can donate for your time?

yes, we urgently need 5 macbook pro’s. 👍
thanks in advance. 😂

[Eko palypse]

Thank you very much for asking and yes there is one thing
you could do if you like :-)
It might sound strange but if you have or know a cooking recipe
which is worth testing - I would appreciate.
I know tastes are different so … :-)

[Eko palypse]

@Meta-Chuh

REALLY - macbooks … NOWADAYS … :-D

[Michael Miller31]

I will get you a recipe when I get home from work. :-)

The macbooks will take some time. :-D

[Michael Miller31]

https://imgur.com/a/GWRaqec @Eko-palypse here’s my favorite recipe for muffins. :-D

Thanks again for your help.

I also realized afterwards that there are a few internal functions that end with $ and don’t start with fn but I just modified the regex to take care of them.

[Eko palypse]

@Michael-Miller31

thank you thank you very much - very much appreciated - I LOVE MUFFINS (who doesn’t ?)
And also nice to see that you already made the script do what you want.
Have a nice day.

[Alan Kilborn]

@Michael-Miller31

Much better to have an actual recipe than simply all the talk of “baking cookies” that goes on around here sometimes!

[Eko palypse]

Help, I need somebody help I need somebody heeeelllppp :-D

[Meta Chuh]

@Eko-palypse

yesterday … all my troubles seemed so far away :-D

[Alan Kilborn]

I see the Beatles song lyrics references, but I’m unsure why Eko started it??
