What this tool is for
A search and replace box you can reach without opening an editor. Plain mode handles the everyday case; regex mode handles the ones an editor would take a plugin for, with capture groups available as $1, $2 in the replacement.
How to use it
- Paste the text you want to edit.
- Type what to find and what to replace it with.
- Turn on regex if you need patterns, and case sensitivity if capitalisation matters.
- Check the replacement count, then copy the result.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use capture groups?
Turn on regex, wrap part of the pattern in parentheses, and reference it in the replacement as $1 for the first group, $2 for the second, and so on.
How do I delete something instead of replacing it?
Leave the replacement field empty. Every match is removed.
What if my regular expression is invalid?
You get a plain message explaining what is wrong with the pattern, instead of an empty result box.
