Edit a script¶

To edit a script in a text editor, Open a PoPy Command Prompt and call:-

$ popy_edit my_script.pyml

The editor invoked by popy_edit is defined in the PoPy Config File file.

Edit multiple scripts¶

Note you can also open all scripts in a directory using:-

$ popy_edit *.pyml

This opens all files with the ‘.pyml’ extension in your default editor.

Specify text editor¶

By default this uses the entry text_editor_path in this file:-

c:\PoPy\popy_config.pyml

If the default editor does not exist then the chosen editor is the first binary found in this list:-

• C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
• C:\Windows\notepad.exe

Also see Configure Editor.
