Right now, I am trying to invoke a python script and pass in the current document into it; however, the script itself does not seem to be executing. Here is the code:</p>
<pre><code>    internal static void GetCurrentDocumentText()
    {
        IntPtr curScintilla = PluginBase.GetCurrentScintilla();
        String s = GetDocumentText(curScintilla);
        string progToRun = "C:\\test.py";

        Process proc = new Process();
        proc.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\Users...\\python.exe";

        proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
        proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = false;

        proc.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Concat(progToRun, " ", s)
        proc.Start();

        proc.WaitForExit();

<p dir="auto">The <a href="https://github.com/bruderstein/PythonScript" rel="nofollow ugc">Python Script plugin</a> is not <a href="https://github.com/mpcabd/PyNPP" rel="nofollow ugc">PyNPP</a> (which I had not heard of until now).  It is a plugin which embeds a full Python 2.7 interpreter inside the Notepad++ environment, and allows you to run a script from within Notepad++ that gives Python direct access to the contents of all the files open in Notepad++, along with access to many aspects of the Notepad++ GUI.</p>
<p dir="auto">For instructions on how to install the Python Script in Notepad++ v7.6.3 and later, see this <a href="https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/17256/guide-how-to-install-the-pythonscript-plugin-on-notepad-7-6-3-7-6-4-and-above" rel="nofollow ugc">Guide</a> by <a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/meta-chuh" aria-label="Profile: Meta-Chuh">@<bdi>Meta-Chuh</bdi></a> (because, unfortunately, Python Script plugin doesn’t currently install using the Plugins Admin interface).</p>
