Automating Notepad++

[snaileater]

Hi,

i would like to achieve a quite "easy" task : automating notepad++ to open a file and lead the user to a given line of the file by doing a given string search (let's say seeking "mod.xxxx" to find modification n°xxxx in a source code ...)

I intend to do this automation by using senkeys commands to notepad++ (unless there's a smarter way to do that ... ?)

Is there a way to get the list of the curently opened files in a notepad++ session ? if the desired file is already opened in notepad++ i would like to be able to activate the corresponding tab and then do the string search described above.

Thanks for help !
