title: Can Notepad++ be configured to recognize compiler error messages and jump to the respective location?
body: <p>I am building some fairly large code on a machine without an IDE, but with Notepad++.</p>
  
  <p>The compilation results are redirected to a file and sometimes, there are error messages, which satisfy a well defined regex.</p>
  
  <p>I wonder if NPP has a plugin, which would parse the log file, recognize the error/warning messagess and let me navigate between the respective error/warning locations.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>Here is a typical example of the output (produced by make running MSVC cl.exe compiler):</p>
