      Hello all, i am new to python and wrtoe a simple script to automate some boring task in text files.
      The script been tested and ready to go and i am wondering is there a way to run through the script to all opened files instead of running the script one by one on each opened files.

      Cheers
      Ken

        I assume you are using the pythonscript plugin.
        If this is the case, then get all open files with notepad.getFiles().
        This returns a list of tuples containing (filename, bufferid, index, viewid).
        Loop over it - done.

            from Npp import *
            
            def forEachFile(func):
            	for file in notepad.getFiles():
            		notepad.activateBufferID(file[1])
            		func()
            
            def printFilename():
            	print notepad.getCurrentFilename()
            
            # 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)
