is there a way to open text file in notepad++ from python script in other some other IDE?

Question

I am trying to open a text file from python script written in pycharm in notepad++ I found from the previous answers that we can use the command in the python from the subprocess module to open the specific file but I want to open the notepad++ to open a file at specific line I used this

    import subprocess
    subprocess.call([r"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe", r"C:\location\myfile.txt"])

but it is opening without any specific focus but i know the following command prompt option to open the my text file at specific line using below command line command

start notepad++ "C:\location\myfile.txt" -n1500

this is opening the myfile.txt at line number 1500 highlighted in notepad++ but when I am trying to add the -n(line-number) to the subprocess.call([r"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe", r"C"\location\myfile.txt"]) the it is not able to execute. Is there any way to execute this command in python script using subprocess or os module?

Answer 1

Yes, you actually can, by appending the additional arguments to the list of arguments that was already specified. The following should achieve the command launched from the command line:

subprocess.call([
    r"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe", r"C:\location\myfile.txt",
    "-n1500"
])
