Use textpad for writing NSIS scripts

[OnlyTextPad]

This assumes you installed NSIS with default settings if not search the makensis.exe and apply its path:
Add new DOS commad:
Parameters:"C:\Program Files\NSIS\makensis.exe" /V4 $FileName
Initial Folder:$FileDir
check: Save All Documents first
check: Capture output
Regex to match output:
^.+in script "(.+)" on line ([0-9]+)[.,]?
Registers:
File 1 Line 2

For the laziest (on your own risk ; ).Change the num of tools also ; )
