title: How do get my script file to console via Notepad++ external command?
body: <p>I am using Notepad++ for creating scripts and opening my active files from menu "Run" -> "Open current dir cmd". This works fine and the result is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>c:\scripts&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I would like to have is the filename that I am working on currently so that I could try testing it right away. In my scripts I use parameters to define input and output files. Therefore the script shouldn't be run while opening, rather to have the script typed into console:</p>
  
  <pre><code>c:\scripts&gt;edit_text.pl
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would then add manually the needed input and output files</p>
  
  <pre><code>c:\scripts&gt;edit_text.pl input.txt output.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>How do I make this possible in Notepad++ "Run" -feature?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Currently it is defined in shortcuts.xml as</p>
  
  <pre><code>cmd /K cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I suspect that it would be something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cmd /K cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY) $(FILE_NAME)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that this will "execute" the filename as well. I would like to have it waiting on the console for my actions.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
