   No, I didn't.  I just pointed out that your use of the word "tutorial" for   
   your premature information is rather overbearing.  And thats putting it   
   lightly.   
      
   I mentioned all that stuff that my cursory scanning of that macro revealed   
   not to "depricate" you, but to show you how much you left in there thats not   
   worthy of a "tutorial" designation.  And that includes your *guesses* to   
   what those macro-lines meant.

   You don't need a better method, you need to clean up what you guessed and   
   write about that macro so that its *really* usefull - to the novices you   
   claim to write your tutorials for.   
      
   > all I ask is for you to add value by showing us a better method.   
      
   You don't need one.  Your method - or better said Notepad++'s one - already   
   works nicely.  Its just your explanation/representation of it that needs   
   work.   
      
   Though I did point out to you that your "tool" wasn't much of one when you   
   still have to do lots of "editor stuff" to get the macro to execute on a   
   file.  Was I not allowed to say as much ?   
      
   Besides, "better" is subjective.  Some time ago I wrote a few lines of   
   VBScript to do the same as that macro.  One line per replacement, plus a few   
   to load and save the file.   I only have to drag-and-drop a file on the   
   script to get it converted.   
      
   To me its better because I can-and-have expanded on it.  I like the freedom   
   to be able to.  To you ?  Probably not, as you would need to learn something   
   different when you already have something that works.
