NppRossTools - A C# Notepad++ Plugin

Tools

• Update Ages

  This will update every line in the current document that starts with a birthdate (in MM/dd/yyyy format) that has (# in yyyy) somewhere on the line, which should reflect their age for that year.

  For example, if you had a document like this:

  Celebrities
  
  05/04/1928 Maynard Ferguson (94 in 2022) (died at 78 on 08/23/2006)
  05/31/1930 Clint Eastwood (92 in 2022)
  06/09/1961 Michael J. Fox (61 in 2022)
  

  Then after running Update Ages in 2023 the document should look like this:

  Celebrities
  
  05/04/1928 Maynard Ferguson (95 in 2023) (died at 78 on 08/23/2006)
  05/31/1930 Clint Eastwood (93 in 2023)
  06/09/1961 Michael J. Fox (62 in 2023)
  

Development Environment

Notepad++ - v8.5.4 (64-bit)
Visual Studio 2022 Preview - v17.8 Preview 1
NppPlugin .NET package for VS2019 and beyond - v0.95.00 (Jan 2021)

Building the project in Visual Studio should add (or update) NppRossTools\NppRossTools.dll under C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins, which will add Ross Tools under Plugins when you run Notepad++.
