How to compile and run C files from within Notepad++ using NppExec plugin?

Question

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++.

Answer 1

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...
