I use Notepad++ as an external tool from within various programs. It would be very useful to be able to pass a text to Notepad++ on the commandline, in order to start a new document with the passed text. Or maybe as an alternative, make Notepad++ performa a paste once loaded.

  The command line parameters are described here:

  None of them will do what you want. Perhaps what you need is a batch file that redirects the text into a file, then opens it with Notepad++.
