Find & Replace

What is Find & Replace?

A find and replace tool searches a body of text for a specified pattern and replaces all occurrences (or individual occurrences) with a replacement string. Find and replace is one of the most fundamental text editing operations, essential for bulk editing of content, code refactoring, data transformation, and document processing. The Find & Replace tool supports three search modes: simple string matching (which finds the exact text you type), case-sensitive matching (which distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase), whole word matching (which only matches the search term when it appears as a complete word, not as part of a larger word), and regular expression (regex) matching (which allows complex pattern matching using the full power of JavaScript regex syntax). Multiple replacements can be applied in sequence, and the result is displayed in real time so you can see the changes before copying the modified text.

How to Use Find & Replace

1. Paste your text into the main input area.
2. Enter the text you want to find in the Find field and the replacement text in the Replace field.
3. Choose your matching options: Case Sensitive, Whole Word Only, or Regex mode.
4. Click Replace All to replace every occurrence, or use Find Next and Replace to replace one at a time.
5. The replacement count and modified text appear instantly in the output area.
6. Click Copy to copy the modified text, or Add Another Rule to chain multiple find-and-replace operations.
