Find and Replace Text
Sometimes you need to change one word in two hundred places without opening an editor. Paste the text, say what to find and what to put in its place, and see how many replacements were made.
How to use it
- Paste the text into the box.
- Fill in the search term and its replacement.
- Press apply; the box is updated in place and the count appears below.
Examples
- Swapping an old product name for a new one across a whole document.
- Replacing double spaces with single ones by typing two spaces and one.
- With regular expressions on, \\d+ replaces every run of digits at once.
Questions people ask
What can regular expressions do here?
They match patterns rather than fixed text: \\d+ for numbers, \\s+ for whitespace, ^ and $ for line boundaries. In the replacement field, $1 inserts whatever the first bracketed group captured, which is how you reorder parts of a line.
Can I undo a replacement?
Not with a button, but the text box supports the usual undo shortcut. For anything important, keep the original in another window before you press apply.
