No worries! People (especially newbies) never post their actual question. Instead they post what they think their question is, so your original answer was quite reasonable. :-)
Yeah. I think I’ll live with what is a minor anomaly for me. The scripting solution will be above my head … ;-)

purely an oversight - thanks. Corrected below:

Hi, @alan-kilborn,
Just congratulate your great aunt to be such a modern person !! To be honest, I’m pretty sure I’ll be uncomfortable with most of new objects of that time, that is…, in 23 years ;-))

Oh, and BTW before anyone asks, since the Find-result panel is just another Scintilla window, I turned on visible whitespace and line wrapping for it, to aid in showing the above analysis.
@hachelle
You provide little detail, but I’ll guess that a technique that might satisfy is to do a regular expression search something like the following:
(?s)starttag.*?endtag
where you would supply the text for the starttag and endtag parts.
@Steven-Haymes
not exactly, you missed one duplicate line ;-)
@gurikbal-singh
it only works on consecutive lines, meaning
if you have something like
a
a
b
b
c
c
you get
a
b
c
BUT if there are other lines in between like empty lines or different lines
then it doesn’t do anything. It basically checks always the previous line with the current line and if those are the same it will delete the current line.
The NppExec plugin did the trick! Just two simple lines were all I needed:
npp_menucommand Encoding\Convert to UTF-8
NPP_SAVEAS: c:\users\clay\downloads\people.csv
those were the docs for the auto-completion preferences; eventually, more details will be at http://notepad-plus-plus.github.io/npp-usermanual/content/auto-completion/ – or in an equivalent location at whatever the final URL for the new NPP documentation suite is.

if the user tried a couple of single "replace"s to make sure it was working, and then hit “replace all”, and the behavior changed, that would be disturbing
Ha! I’m surprised that @guy038 hasn’t jumped in yet to talk about how exactly this sort of thing can and does happen!! :)
@PeterJones Many thanks – creating sub directory and moving .dll is the solution – all working now. :+)
Tortoise SVN plugin not available any longer via plugin manager but (as per Michael Vincent’s post ) available at http://www.incrediblejunior.com/npp_plugins/
Thanks

I still would like to know how to deal with (), ), and (
Whenever you are dealing with looking for the special characters in a regex (regular expression) you need to use a ‘delimiter’ to denote that it’s the literal character you want to search for, not the special meaning.
In Notepad++ we use \ as a delimiter. Thus \( means search for a literal ( (left curved bracket). If you wanted to search for () together as literals use \(\). There can be some exceptions but for clarity use \ for every special character. So even the \ is special so literally it is \\.
