Find and Replace Text | Regex and Case Options
Search text for words, phrases, or regex patterns and replace matches with case-sensitive or whole-word controls.
Find and Replace Text Patterns
Paste text, enter the content to find, choose replacement text, and update matching words, phrases, or regular expression patterns in one pass.
Use Regex Carefully
Regex can change more text than expected when a pattern is too broad. Test with a small sample first, especially before editing code, CSV data, URLs, or long documents.
When Bulk Replacement Saves Time
Use it for renaming labels, cleaning copied data, fixing repeated typos, changing placeholders, updating snippets, or preparing text before publishing.
About This Tool
Find and Replace is a text editing utility that lets you locate any word, phrase, or pattern inside a block of text and swap it with something else in one pass. It saves time when editing repeated content, updating variable names, or fixing consistent typos across long documents.
When to Use It
Use this tool when you need to rename a term throughout a draft, update placeholder text in templates, fix a repeated spelling error, or clean up exported data before pasting it elsewhere.
How to Use
- Paste or type your text into the input area.
- Enter the word or phrase you want to find in the Search field.
- Type the replacement text in the Replace field.
- Choose whether the match should be case-sensitive.
- Click Replace All and copy the result.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace text without changing capitalisation?
Yes. Disable the case-sensitive option and the tool matches uppercase and lowercase versions of your search term equally.
Does it support partial word matches?
It matches any occurrence of the search string, including partial words. If you want whole-word-only matches, add a space before and after your search term.
How many replacements can it handle at once?
The tool processes the entire pasted text in one pass, so it handles thousands of replacements without slowing down.
Does it preserve line breaks and formatting?
Plain line breaks are preserved. HTML formatting tags are treated as regular text and are not parsed.
