Template substitution from list

Atanvarno Aldarion

Hey, I have to define lots of identical structures for many variables.
Is there some plug-in for N++ that would allow me to have:

A list of names:

HARRY
RON
HERMIONE
…

A template like:

STUDENT [NAME] IS:
NAME: [NAME]
ID: 1-[NAME]-2
BIOGRAPHY: [NAME]'s biography follows.

and would let me combine them into:

STUDENT HARRY IS:
NAME: HARRY
ID: 1-HARRY-2
BIOGRAPHY: HARRY’s biography follows.

STUDENT RON IS:
NAME: RON
ID: 1-RON-2
BIOGRAPHY: RON’s biography follows.

STUDENT HERMIONE IS:
NAME: HERMIONE
ID: 1-HERMIONE-2
BIOGRAPHY: HERMIONE’s biography follows.

Can something do that for me? Thanks :)

Yes, there is, and it’s called the PythonScript plugin.
Probably any other scripting plugin can do this too.

Here is an example of what it might look like.

names = [
'HARRY',
'RON',
'HERMIONE',
]

template = '''
STUDENT {0} IS:
NAME: {0}
ID: 1-{0}-2
BIOGRAPHY: {0}'s biography follows.
'''

editor.appendText('\r\n'.join([template.format(x) for x in names]))
