I was exploring the options in Notepad++ (someone posted a comment in my blog which took me to Essbase Labs, where there is a blog entry on Textpad and Essbase).
So I was looking at at option where we can launch programs from Notepad++ itself. There is a run command which does it, however I was looking at an option where I can get a console window.
After some research I found the plugin that I was looking for (http://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/NppExec/), you can install the plugin using Plugin Manager in Notepad++.
So I created a Maxl file to display the substitution variables and enabled the console option in NppExec
Ran the essmsh command using “$FULL_CURRENT_PATH”

and the result
So now you write Maxl statements and run it from Notepad++ itself (if you have essmsh installed on the machine).
There are lot of commands that you can use with NppExec, (NPP_SAVE which can save the files, you can invoke command line using cmd and back up the files using cmd /c copy “$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)” “C:Backup$(FILE_NAME)” /Y)
HTH
Wow, that's interesting stuff!
