About find and replace

Find-and-replace is the quickest way to make the same edit everywhere — fix a recurring typo, swap a name, update a URL or reformat a list. The live match count tells you how many replacements were made before you copy.

Turn on regular expressions for pattern matching — for example replacing all digits, collapsing whitespace, or reordering with capture groups like $1 and $2. With Regex off, your search text is matched literally. It all runs locally with nothing uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Does it support regular expressions?

Yes. Turn on Regex to use full JavaScript regular-expression syntax in the find field, including capture-group references like $1 in the replacement. With it off, the find text is matched literally.

Can I match without case sensitivity?

Yes — switch on case-insensitive matching and the search ignores upper/lower case, so “Cat” matches “cat” and “CAT”.

How many replacements does it make?

All of them. Every match is replaced, and the live count next to the output shows exactly how many were found and replaced.

Is my text uploaded?

No. Finding and replacing happens entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
