How to use Text Find and Replace

  2. Choose the options that match your task.
  3. Run the tool, review the result, then copy or download it.

When to use Text Find and Replace

Use literal replacement for templates, copied labels and repeated snippets when regular expressions would add unnecessary escaping. Enter the exact text to find and its replacement, then choose whether to replace the first occurrence or every non-overlapping occurrence. Matching is case sensitive, and punctuation such as periods, brackets or dollar signs is treated as ordinary text.

How to interpret the result

The output is the changed text, with a separate replacement count shown above it. An empty replacement removes the matched text; an empty search is rejected to avoid inserting content between every character. Dollar sequences in the replacement have no special meaning. Newlines and spaces are significant in the search. Review a text diff when changing configuration or source code because this tool does not understand its syntax.

Example input

Hello NAME. Welcome, NAME!
