      A little suggestion for Notepad++,
      If notepad++ can do ontime calculation of selected numbers, That would be Amazing !!
      for example if I selected a simple line of text like :
      250+150+100+500
      The result of the calculation will show in status bar…
      (If possible)

      And,
      Thanks for the Amazing software Notepad++
      Regards,

        NppCalc
        MathPad

        Though I think they’re both 32-bit only.

        You can use NppExec with a simple “script”:

        ::=
SET LOCAL ANS ~ $(ARGV)
ECHO $(ANS)

        Then:

        Cheers.

          Add an = at the end and select the text of the “equation” in Notepad++ to obtain:

          691d0e05-53af-474f-9724-c0400b5dcd70-image.png

          Press Ctrl+c to copy it to the clipboard.

          Go to the Run menu and choose Run… and specify something similar to this:

          3f92834b-f9b3-4ac1-9468-7dbf5e45ccde-image.png

          Press the Run button.

          When Calculator starts, press Ctrl+v; results:

          5b957f03-043e-4dd1-93e1-1dd6118c2fac-image.png

          Save the Run menu entry and bind it to a keycombo if you do this sort of thing frequently.

          EDIT: Not sure why I didn’t use your exact numbers in the example! :-)

            Hello @monu-kashyap, @Michael-vincent, @alan-kilborn, and All,

            Here is an other solution which uses a batch file and the DOS command set /a

            • Open a new N++ tab ( Ctrl + N )

            • Run the menu command Encoding > Convert to ANSI

            • Select all the batch file contents, below, and copy them in this new empty file

            • Save it, in the system folder C:\Windows\System32, as cal.bat

            @echo OFF

            • Now, in your active shortcuts.xml file, add the line, below, before the end of the </UserDefinedCommands> ••• </UserDefinedCommands> node
                    <Command name="Multiple Calculations" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">cmd /c cal.bat $(CURRENT_WORD) && pause>NUL</Command>

            • Close and re-start Notepad++

            • Make a normal selection of that example line "-9 +3" 011*9 "17|22" "12<<5-1" "v=r*=4" (0xba+v)/6 "17&22" "17^22"

            • Execute the menu command Run > Multiple calculations

            Et voilà !!

            Notes :

            • Once the results read and, possibly copied in the clipboard, just hit any key to close the MULTIPLE calculations window

            • If you don’t like the color of the DOS console, just change the parameters of the color command or delete it, in the batch file !

            • To copy the results to the clipboard :

              • Click anywhere, in that DOS window, with the right mouse button and choose the Select option

              • Now, by clicking and moving around the pointer you should define a rectangular block, in the same way as a rectangular N++ selection

              • Hit the Enter key to copy the contents of this block in the clipboard

              • Paste these contents anywhere, in Notepad++ !

            • Any selection must contain an even number of double quotes, if any. For instance, the selection 3+4 "5 - 9" 3*5 is correct, where as the selection of 3+4 "5 - 9 3*5 or 3+4 "5 - 9 are incorrect !

            • Note that a single shift, logical bitwise and assignation operation, as well as any expression containing space chars, needs to be surrounded with double quotes

            • Remark that the variable r always contains the result of the last performed operation !

            Just test it. I hope you’ll like it !

            Best Regards,

            guy038

            P.S. :

            I finally don’t think that the conversion to ANSI is needed, as no character of this batch file is over \x{007f}, anyway !
