Find and Replace

Find every occurrence of a word or phrase and replace one or all of them, with case-sensitive and whole-word options and a live match count.

empty

Type something to find — nothing is changed until you press Replace.

How to use it

  1. Paste your text into the box.
  2. Type what you are looking for in Find. The match count and the highlighting update as you type — nothing is changed yet.
  3. Type the replacement, tick Case sensitive or Whole word only if you need them.
  4. Press Replace one for the first match, or Replace all for every one.
  5. Press Copy text to take the result away.

Whole word, and why it matters

Searching for cat in “The cat was in the category” finds two matches: the animal and the first three letters of “category”. Tick Whole word only and it finds one. This is the option that stops a careless replace-all from mangling longer words.

Questions

Is my text changed as I type?

No. The match count updates live, but nothing is replaced until you press Replace One or Replace All.

Can I search with a regular expression?

No — what you type is searched for literally, so characters like . and * mean themselves rather than acting as wildcards. That is what most people want and what makes the tool safe to use without thinking about it.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. Everything happens in your browser — nothing you type or paste is uploaded, logged or stored.
