I get a NameError executing my python script

[Michael Halsig]

I get this error:

C:\Python27\python.exe "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Notepad++\PythonScripts\ClearReadOnly.py"
Process started >>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Notepad++\PythonScripts\ClearReadOnly.py", line 1, in <module>
    for f in notepad.getFiles():
NameError: name 'notepad' is not defined
<<< Process finished.
================ READY ================

I have installed the latest version of PythonScript but no matter what I do it keeps giving me this error. Do I need to install anything else. Thanks for your help

Here is my code:

for files in notepad.getFiles():
   notepad.activateFile(files[0])
   notepad.runMenuCommand('Edit','Clear Read-Only Flag')

It looks like you're trying to run the script from Python itself.  You don't need to install (or use) Python to use the PythonScript plugin - it's a plugin like any other, and can be installed from the Plugin Manager.  From there, you can click the menu item Plugins -> PythonScript -> New Script, name your script, and paste your code.  Save it, and run it from Plugins->PythonScript->Scripts->

Hope that helps.
Dave.
