Notepad++ is just a text editor. You must save your script as a text
file (with .m extension) to some directory, and then add the directory
to Octave path - typically, you change Octave's working directory with
"cd" command (in command console) to the directory with your file.
E.g. if your file is C:\myoctavefiles\myscript.m, use command

cd 'C:\myoctavefiles'

and then you can run your script with "myscript" (again in command console).

BTW, you have error in your example code, semicolon is missing after "a=[1 2]".
