What does the Find and Replace Text do?

Replace a misspelt name throughout a document, swap British for American spellings, or reformat dates with a regular expression. The tool shows how many matches were replaced.

In plain mode, special characters are matched literally. Switch on “Use regular expression” for patterns and capture groups: for example, find (\d{2})/(\d{2})/(\d{4}) and replace with $3-$2-$1 to turn 25/12/2026 into 2026-12-25.

How to use the Find and Replace Text

  1. Paste your text.
  2. Type the text to find and the replacement (leave “Replace with” empty to delete matches).
  3. Choose match case, whole words or regex as needed.
  4. Check the match count, then copy or download the result.

Examples

Spelling

Find “colour”, replace with “color”, whole words only — “colourful” stays unchanged.

Remove all numbers

Regex mode: find \d+, leave replacement empty.

Frequently asked questions

How do I delete a word everywhere?

Enter it in “Find” and leave “Replace with” empty.

What does “whole words only” do?

It matches the word only when it is not part of a longer word, so “cat” will not match “category”.

Can I use $1 in plain mode?

No — in plain mode “$” is inserted literally. Enable regex mode to use capture groups.
