batch script?

[jon80]

I have downloaded NotePad++, and, according to the online help (see page at http://npp-community.tuxfamily.org/documentation/notepad-user-manual/commands), it seems possible to run a command that would allow me to execute a scripted file.

Hence, I would like to create a script file that allows me to capture whatever the user (e.g. myself) has loaded from within the application, and, launch it by the Java compiler, for example:

compile_a_java_program.bat
@echo off
javac %1.java
rem where %1 is the name of the file currently being viewed by the user
java %1
rem usually ending with .class, where this is the name of the file that needs to run

I am running WinXP SP3, and, JVM 1.6.0_24.

In the Notepad++ run box, use the ... button and find your batch file. Double clicking it will move full path to the run box; then add $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) to the run box. The run box should look something like this:

compile_a_java_program.bat $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)

If necessary, add path info for your batch file.

You batch file might need a tweak or two:

Code: [Select]

@echo off

javac %1

cd /d %~dp1
java %~n1
pause

I threw in the pause so you can see the result before the window closes. I also added a CD command to navigate to the directory where the class file lives, just in case the directory is not on the classpath variable.

Good luck.
