Does anyone have a Notepad++ plugin that will generate UUIDs and insert them [closed]

Question

I Often need UUIDs inserted into files that I'm editing in Notepad++. Does anyone have a macro or add in that does this. Or an autohotkey script?

Answer 1

Install the GhNppExec plugin from Plugin Central, then configure to run the simple Python script below.

Use the shortcut mapper to assign a key combination to the plugin command.

import uuid
import sys

# make a random UUID
sys.stdout.write(str(uuid.uuid4()).upper())

The Python Script plugin will do the job as well with the same code – Sobersided

I made a small adjustment to your script so it will replace your selected text: editor.replaceSel(str(uuid.uuid4()).upper()) – Smelter

Answer 2

NppToolBucket does it very nicely, too.

This should be the accepted answer, methinks! ... it properly does the job (but does need old .net framework installing) – Heronry

Answer 3

(AHK) Universally Unique Identifier (UUID/GUID) Generator

It's not spectacular(has its flaws), but it looks to get the job done.

Answer 4

Install the plugin "Random Values"

Usage : Plugins > Random Values > Random guid
