I need to paste the content of an "external" file through the contextual action.

[u2andres]

Hi, I'm using the contextual menu, and want to perform the followings task:

• having a action like this : /xxxx/yyy/context_action.sh "%s" "%f"

• where the 2ª parameter is an "external" file

• MY GOAL is that the "content" of the file(%f) "replace" the "string" of the parameter %s in the actual Geany window.

• IT IS LIKE a "copy/paste" where the "copy" is : the content from external file(%f)

• and paste "over" the token defined by %s

Please I need to know where is the source that I have to modify.

Please ask me any doubts.
Thanxs & hugs,
Andrés

It looks more like you want to use a custom command which replaces the selection with the command output.

Can yout tell me where is the "custom command" source, so I can see how it work?.

The above links to the manual, you should not need the source to use it.
