Using Notepad++ for Script Review in Large-Scale Automation
-
Hi all,
I work in a server environment where we manage and update scripts across hundreds of Linux and Windows servers. Most of the time, we’re working with shell scripts, PowerShell, and config files (like YAML, JSON, INI).
Even though we use automation tools like Ansible, VisualCron, Attune and WinSCP, we still rely a lot on Notepad++ for quick edits, reviews, and syntax highlighting before deployment.
I’m curious how others are using Notepad++ in similar setups:
Any plugin suggestions for better handling of multi-language scripting (e.g., Bash + PowerShell)?
Anyone using macros or regex for things like pre-deployment cleanup or syntax checks?
What’s the best way to do batch find & replace across 30–50 files before sending them to automation tools?
We often review dozens of script files before they get pushed through our rollout tools, so anything that speeds up work inside Notepad++ is super helpful.!

Probably the MultiReplace plugin excels with this.
