@Ekopalypse Yes, I would be using a lot, and I follow the steps and I don’t see how to choose the name I saved it as

OK, I found how to add short cuts, but can’t find my saved name under your steps

[Javier Rivas]

@Ekopalypse all I see is Sample and Startup

[Ekopalypse]

did you click on User Scripts?

and before you can assign a shortcut or see the icon in the toolbar, you have to restart npp, because npp reads/retrieves this information only at startup.

[Javier Rivas]

@Ekopalypse Yes

[Ekopalypse]

@Javier-Rivas

Yes? It works now or still not seeing it?

[Javier Rivas]

@Ekopalypse sorry, don’t see it, and yes I click on user

[Ekopalypse]

@Javier-Rivas

Can you post your debug info which is available from the ? menu?

@Javier-Rivas said in Find, Replace, and Count:

Local Conf mode : OFF

means that the scripts will be saved in
%APPDATA%\notepad++\plugins\config\pythonscript\scripts

You can copy and past this into an explorer and it should get you there. Do you see your script there?

[Ekopalypse]

Could it be that you named your script without the .py extension?

[Javier Rivas]

@Ekopalypse Yes, I got it now, I have to add the .py to it did not know that
Thank you very much I have my shortcut and it worked perfectly

I thought just name it and save

I was sloppy there, sorry.

[Javier Rivas]

@Ekopalypse Hey so is there a way to edit what was saved in notepad++, because as weeks go by I would have to edit the script and add a new timestamp to it, the 100000 represents a timestamp so it was just an example, everything else works great

[Ekopalypse]

@Javier-Rivas

Yes of course, press CTRL and click the script.
Works as long as you do NOT assign a CTRL+KEY shortcut.

[Ekopalypse]

@Ekopalypse

By the way, is the timestamp calculable?

[Javier Rivas]

@Ekopalypse Yes, it is calculable, what I do is I go to the website and get a timestamp and I add 60 sec to each stamp, I have 10 timestamps all 1 minute apart

[Ekopalypse]

@Javier-Rivas

I ASSUME that this can also be automated.
If you are interested and the site is public, we can try it.
But, sorry, no more today - it’s already 01:00 AM here.
Good night everyone.

I’m confused here, because if you don’t (and you shouldn’t) add any extension to the name in the SaveAs box, PythonScript itself will add the .py extension to it.
Well, I mean you can type it if you want to, but why waste the time it takes to do that?

[Javier Rivas]

@Alan-Kilborn yes. that is how I did it the first time. But failed to save to notepad ++ by me typing it, saved and I was able to add a short cut

[Javier Rivas]

@Ekopalypse good night, and thank you for all the help, it would be cool if it can just set it up automatically, I will provide when I get the chance, a timestamp we use
