Notepad++ NppExec plugin

[ Updated on 26th Oct]
Recently I downloaded Borland C++ Compiler 5.5 which is free. Unfortunately IDE is not free and we have to leverage on external editors.
I use notepad++ most of the time and thought of exploring it to use it to compile and run my C++ programs.

There is a plugin called NppExec. You can download and extract the dll to plugin directory.

Press F6 Function key and save the following script:

1. npp_save
2. CD $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
3. C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin\bcc32.exe "$(FILE_NAME)"
4. $(NAME_PART)

And if you want the program to run in its own window :

1. npp_save
2. CD $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
3. cmd /c DEL "$(NAME_PART).exe"
4. C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin\bcc32.exe "$(FILE_NAME)"
5. NPP_RUN cmd /c "$(NAME_PART)"

Now whenever you need to compile and execute your cpp program it will be useful.
eg:

Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993, 2000 Borland

NONAME.CPP:

Turbo Incremental Link 5.00 Copyright (c) 1997, 2000 Borland

<<< Process finished.

NONAME

Process started >>>

Hello World !!


<<< Process finished.
