About Find & replace

Replaces every occurrence of a word or phrase in your text at once, with options for case sensitivity and whole words. Regular expressions are supported for pattern changes, such as swapping date formats or removing numbers. Test regex on a small sample first, because patterns can match more than expected.

How to use Find & replace

  1. Paste your text into the main box.
  2. Type what to find and what to replace it with.
  3. Run the replacement and copy the new text.

Frequently asked questions

How do I replace only whole words?

Turn on the whole word option, so that replacing cat will not change category or concatenate. With regex you can get the same result using word boundaries around the term.

What is regex mode for?

Regex lets you match patterns instead of exact words, for example any number or any word that starts with a given letter. It is powerful but easy to get wrong, so test on a small sample first.

Is the search case sensitive?

Check the case option before replacing. If it is on, Apple will not match apple. Turn it off to replace every spelling, or leave it on for exact matches only.
