Find and replace text

1. Paste your text, then enter the word or phrase you want to replace in Find.
2. Enter the replacement in Replace with (leave it blank to delete), then choose your options: match case, whole words, \n, or regular expressions.
3. Check how many matches were replaced, then copy or download the result.

When to use find and replace

It works like Word’s Ctrl+H, right in your browser and with any text. Replace a client’s name in a contract template, fix a repeated typo, standardize terms like “USD” and “dollars,” or remove a phrase that appears on every line.

• Whole words prevents replacing “art” inside “artist” or “act” inside “action”—and works with accented characters.
• Interpret \n and \t lets you add line breaks or tabs in the replacement, for example, to split a semicolon-separated list into separate lines.
• Use result as input lets you chain multiple replacements.

Replace text with regular expressions

In regular expression mode, the Find field accepts patterns like \d{3}\.\d{3}\.\d{3}-\d{2}, and the replacement field accepts $1 and $2 to reuse matched groups. For example, convert dates from (\d{2})/(\d{2})/(\d{4}) to $3-$2-$1. The expression runs in isolation with a time limit, so a poorly written pattern won’t freeze the page.

To build and test your pattern first, use the regex tester. All processing happens in your browser—your text is never sent to a server.
