About Find and Replace
Find and Replace is one of the most essential text editing operations. While most text editors offer this feature, an online tool is convenient when you need to quickly process text from various sources without opening a desktop application. This tool is especially useful for bulk replacements across large blocks of text.
The regex option makes this tool particularly powerful for developers and data analysts. Regular expressions enable complex pattern matching, such as replacing all email addresses, phone numbers, or date formats. The whole word option prevents unintended partial replacements, while case sensitivity control lets you match exactly what you need. All processing runs in your browser for complete privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Enter your text, specify the search term and replacement, then click Replace All. The tool finds every occurrence of your search term and replaces it. You can configure case sensitivity, whole word matching, and regex mode.
The regex option lets you use regular expressions in the Find field. Regular expressions are a powerful pattern-matching language. For example, "\d+" matches any number, and "(foo|bar)" matches either "foo" or "bar." You can also use capture groups like $1 in the replacement.
Whole word matching ensures only complete words are matched. For example, searching for "cat" with whole word enabled matches "cat" but not "category" or "concatenate." This prevents unintended replacements in longer words.
Yes. Simply leave the "Replace with" field empty and click Replace All. This effectively deletes all occurrences of the search term from your text.
