What is Find & Replace?
Find & Replace searches your text for a word, phrase, or pattern and swaps it for something else, showing the result and a live count of how many replacements were made. Turn on Match case, Whole word, or Regex mode for precise control, and use Replace all to change every match or just the first. In regex mode you can reference captured groups like $1 in the replacement, and invalid patterns are flagged cleanly instead of crashing. Everything runs in your browser, so your text is never uploaded.
How to use Find & Replace
Paste your text
Drop the text you want to edit into the Input box. The Result updates live as you set up the find and replace.
Enter find and replace terms
Type what to look for in Find and what to swap it with in Replace with. Leave Replace with empty to simply delete every match.
Fine-tune with toggles
Enable Match case for case-sensitive matching, Whole word to avoid partial hits, and Replace all (on by default) to change every occurrence instead of only the first.
Use regex for patterns
Switch on Regex mode to match with a regular expression and reference captured groups in the replacement using $1, $2, and $&. Invalid patterns show a clear red message.
Copy or download
Check the replacement count under the panels, then Copy the result or Download it as replaced.txt.
