PythonScript: Script that runs on multiple files not working

[Fuel DZN]

Rather than replacing ‘value’ according to the ‘mission_tag’, ‘decision_tag’ or ‘religion_group’ found in the document, it instead replaces ‘value’ according to said variables found in the first open document from which the script is first ran from.

The script works on single files. All that’s been added to make it multi-file is:

for (filename, bufferID, index, view) in notepad.getFiles():

I am a beginner to python so sorry if I’ve made a very basic mistake.

# encoding=utf-8
from Npp import *
import re
import os

mission_tag = re.search(r'\s*potential = \{[\s\S]*(?<=tag = )(\w+)', editor.getText())
decision_tag = re.search(r'(?<=NOT = { exists = )(\w+)', editor.getText())
religion_group = re.search(r'\s*potential = \{[\s\S]*(?<=religion_group = )(\w+)', editor.getText())

history_files = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Europa Universalis IV\history\countries'
base_tech = 3

pattern = re.compile(r'(?<=adm_tech = )(\d+)|(?<=dip_tech = )(\d+)|(?<=mil_tech = )(\d+)')
value = pattern.search(editor.getText())

def replace(percentage):
    amount = float((100 - percentage) * 0.01)
    editor.rereplace(r'(?<=adm_tech = )(\d+)|(?<=dip_tech = )(\d+)|(?<=mil_tech = )(\d+)', str(int(round(base_tech * ((((float(value.group(0)) / base_tech) - 1) * amount) + 1)))));

def adjust():
    notepad.open(history_files+'\\'+filename)
    colonial = re.search(r'(?<=.)(is_former_colonial_nation = yes)|(?<=.)(is_colonial_nation = yes)', editor.getText())
    tech_group = re.search(r'(?<=technology_group = )(\w+)', editor.getText())
    notepad.close()
    if tech_group.group(0) == 'western' or colonial:
        notepad.close()
    elif tech_group.group(0) == 'eastern':
        replace(20)
    elif tech_group.group(0) == 'ottoman':
        replace(25)
    elif tech_group.group(0) == 'muslim':
        replace(37.5)
    elif tech_group.group(0) == 'indian':
        replace(40)

    elif tech_group.group(0) == 'nomad_group':
        replace(62.5)
    elif tech_group.group(0) == 'sub_saharan':
        replace(50)
    elif tech_group.group(0) in ('mesoamerican', 'andean'):
        replace(75)
    elif tech_group.group(0) in ('north_american', 'south_american', 'aboriginal_tech', 'polynesian_tech'):
        replace(92.5)

for (filename, bufferID, index, view) in notepad.getFiles():
    notepad.activateBufferID(bufferID)
    for filename in os.listdir(history_files):
        if mission_tag and re.match(mission_tag.group(1), filename):
            adjust()
        elif decision_tag and re.match(decision_tag.group(0), filename):
            adjust()    
        elif religion_group:
            if religion_group.group(1) == 'christian':
                notepad.close()
            elif religion_group.group(1) == 'muslim':
                replace(37.5)
            elif religion_group.group(1) == 'dharmic':
                replace(40)
            elif religion_group.group(1) == 'eastern':
                replace(50)

                replace(75)

As the mission_tag = … (and others) definition currently involves data only from the “open doc from which the script is first ran from”, I’d say you need to have those statements inside the for loop you added, after the notepad.activateBufferID line.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks, that worked. I had tried that but forgot to put it after the notepad.activateBufferID line.
