About Find and Replace

Find and Replace updates matching text across a whole draft with options for case sensitivity, whole-word matching, and regular expressions. Writers and developers searching "find and replace online", "regex replace", or "bulk text replace" need controlled edits without opening a full IDE.

Paste text, set Find and Replace with, toggle Case sensitive, Whole word, or Use RegEx, then run. Regex is powerful but unforgiving - a broad pattern can change more than you intended, so keep a backup of important copy.

Use plain find/replace for simple renames; switch on RegEx only when you need patterns (digits, repeated spaces, markup fragments). Always skim the result before publishing.

For patterns like repeated spaces, number formats, or simple markup - test carefully.

Only if you enable the case-sensitive option.

This tool works on the text you paste, not folders of files.

Will regex break my text?

Over-broad patterns can - keep originals until you verify.
