BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Run BibTeX from Notepad++

[zach]

This is my third question posted to the board, and I must say I've been impressed with the quickness and accuracy of the responses. Thank you all very much.

My question this time: Does anyone know how to configure a script or run command to run BibTeX from within Notepad++? Currently, I have a run command to execute PDFLaTeX on the current file. But, that does not compile my bibliography. So, I have to switch to WinEDT to do that. However, I'd prefer to do all of my editing and compiling in Notepad++. Does anyone know how to do this?

This problem has been solved, with the help of Jelmer Ypma. His page contains a script he wrote to integrate Notepad++ with LaTeX and BibTeX:

His code didn't work for me right out of the box. I had to modify the script to the code pasted below. I incorporated the PDFLaTex, BibTeX, PDFLaTeX, PDFLaTeX strategy that many people use for compiling documents. This script was simply saved and then called with a hotkey created in Notepad++.

I hope others will find this useful. If anyone needs a more detailed explanation, please let me know.

Code: Select all

cd "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
C:\...\pdflatex.exe -interaction=nonstopmode "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
C:\...\bibtex.exe "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART)"
C:\...\pdflatex.exe -interaction=nonstopmode "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
C:\...\pdflatex.exe -interaction=nonstopmode "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
"C:\...\Adobe.exe" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).pdf"
