通过在Notepad ++编辑器中单击文件路径在Firefox中打开文件

Question

We have a log file that outputs some file names like C:\\Users\\user1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\Company1\\HttpResponse-2012.04.16_14.33.51_499-Error.html .

We use Notepad++ v5.8.7 to look at the log files.

Is it possible to just click or Ctrl+Click or to use other shortcuts to open the file (eg C:\\Users\\user1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\Company1\\HttpResponse-2012.04.16_14.33.51_499-Error.html) in Firefox?

Are there plug-ins that supports that?

Up to now I need to

1. Select file path
2. Select Run->Open file
   -> File is opened in Notepad++
3. Select Run->Launch in Firefox
   -> File is shown by Firefox

Is there a shorter way to show the file in Firefox?

Answer 1

You need to put the following line (command) in the Run (by pressing F5 or ALT+R+R) window of Notepad++.

"C:\Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "$(CURRENT_WORD)"

The following figure will make it clear.

You need to select the link and then it will open in firefox. You may need to change the path depending on where firefox.exe is located. You may also choose the shortcut accordingly. (I used CTRL+INS since this was available).
