Find and replace text in any document with our easy-to-use text editor. Search for specific words or phrases, replace them individually or all at once, and see highlighted matches as you type.

How to Find and Replace

Enter the text you want to find and the replacement text in their respective fields. The tool automatically highlights all matches in the source text, with the current match emphasized. Navigate between matches using the Previous and Next buttons, replace them one at a time, or click Replace All to substitute every occurrence at once. Toggle the case sensitivity option to control whether the search distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase letters.

Using Regex Patterns

The find field accepts regular expression patterns for advanced text matching. Regular expressions allow you to match complex patterns like email addresses, phone numbers, or date formats. Special characters are automatically escaped when you type them, ensuring safe literal matching. This makes the tool suitable for both simple text replacements and more complex pattern-based transformations.
