How can I configure the NppExec plugin for Notepad++?
I would like NppExec to compile my C files, run them, and show their output, all within Notepad++.
How can I configure the NppExec plugin for Notepad++?

Here's a procedure for perl, just adapt it for C. Hope it helps.
npp_save
<-- Saves the current documentCD $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
<-- Moves to the current directoryperl.exe -c -w "$(FILE_NAME)"
<-- executes the command perl.exe -c -w , example: perl.exe -c -w test.pl (-c = compile -w = warnings) For perl,
To run perl script use this procedure
Requirement: You need to setup classpath variable.
Go to plugins->NppExec->Execute
In command section, type this
cmd /c cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"&&"$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
Save it and give name to it.(I give Perl).
Press OK. If editor wants to restart, do it first.
Now press F6 and you will find your Perl script output on below side.
Note: Not required seperate config for seperate files.
For java,
Requirement: You need to setup JAVA_HOME
and classpath
variable.
Go to plugins->NppExec->Execute
In command section, type this
cmd /c cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"&&"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac""$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
your *.class
will generate on location of current folder; despite of programming error.
For Python,
Use this Plugin Python Plugin
Go to plugins->NppExec-> Run file in Python intercative
By using this you can run scripts within Notepad++.
For PHP,
No need for different configuration just download this plugin.
PHP Plugin and done.
For C language,
Requirement: You need to setup classpath variable.
I am using MinGW compiler.
Go to plugins->NppExec->Execute
paste this into there
NPP_SAVE
CD $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
C:\MinGW32\bin\gcc.exe -g "$(FILE_NAME)"
a
(Remember to give above four lines separate lines.)
Now, give name, save and ok.
Restart Npp.
Go to plugins->NppExec->Advanced options.
Menu Item->Item Name (I have C compiler)
Associated Script-> from combo box select the above name of script.
Click on Add/modify and Ok.
Now assign shortcut key as given in first answer.
Press F6 and select script or just press shortcut(I assigned Ctrl+2).
For C++,
Only change g++ instead of gcc
and *.cpp
instead on *.c
That's it!!
Here is the code for compling and running java source code: - Open Notepadd++ - Hit F6 - Paste this code
npp_save <-- Saves the current document
CD $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY) <-- Moves to the current directory
javac "$(FILE_NAME)" <-- compiles your file named *.java
java "$(NAME_PART)" <-- executes the program
The Java Classpath variable has to be set for this...

You can check the following page with a lot of information on NppExec.
I personally use the following batch script that can be used on many types of files (C, makefile, Perl scripts, shell scripts, batch, ...). I store this file in the Notepad++ user directory (%APPDATA%/Notepad++) under the name runNcompile.bat.
I then use the NppExec command "$(SYS.APPDATA)\Notepad++\runNcompile.bat" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
while checking the option "Follow $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" in NppExec menu. And to finish, I assign a special key (I reassigned F12) to launch the script.
Hope it can help

You can actually compile and run C code even without the use of nppexec plugins. If you use MingW32 C compiler, use g++ for C++ language and gcc for C language.
Paste this code into the notepad++ run section
cmd /k cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY) && gcc $(FILE_NAME) -o $(NAME_PART).exe && $(NAME_PART).exe && pause
It will compile your C code into exe and run it immediately. It's like a build and run feature in CodeBlock. All these are done with some cmd knowledge.

I've made a single powerfull script that will:
-Compile and run multi language code like C
, C++
, Java
, Python
and C#
.
-Delete the old executable before compiling code.
-Only run the code if it's compiled successfully.
I've also made a very noob friendly tutorial Transform Notepad++ to Powerful Multi Languages IDE which contains some additional scripts like to only run or Compile the code, run code inside CMD etc.

I recommend my solution. My situation: g++(cygwin) on win10
My solution: Write a .bat batch file and execute compiler in that batch. compileCpp.bat
@echo off
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\cygwin64\bin\
rm %~n1.exe
c++.exe -g %~dpnx1 -o %~dpn1.exe
%~n1.exe
Console:
NPP_EXEC: "runCpp"
NPP_SAVE: E:\hw.cpp
CD: E:\
Current directory: E:\
cmd /c C:\cygwin64\bin\compileCpp.bat "hw.cpp"
Process started >>>
Hello World<<< Process finished. (Exit code 0)
================ READY ================
Decompile with CMD:
If those didn't work try this:
cmd /K g++ "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" -o "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH).exe
It should save where you got the file (Example: If I got file from Desktop, it will be saved as .exe on the Desktop)
I don't know if it works on 64 bits though so you can try it!
I've written just this to execute compiling and run the file after, plus fileinputname = fileoutputname on windowsmashines, if your compilerpath is registred in the windows PATH-var:
NPP_SAVE
cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
set LEN~ strrfind $(FILE_NAME) .
set EXENAME ~ substr 0 $(LEN) $(FILE_NAME)
set $(EXENAME) = $(EXENAME).exe
c++.exe "$(FILE_NAME)" -o "$(EXENAME)"
"$(EXENAME)"
should work for any compiler if you change c++.exe to what you want
In windows if you are using a portable version of MinGW you must set path variable or you have error libintl-8.dll not found. My path is C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin
