Replace literal text throughout an editable draft. Match Case controls whether uppercase and lowercase variants match. The search is not a regular expression and does not require whole-word boundaries, so inspect surrounding text before copying the result.

lightbulb When to use this tool

  • check_circle Update a repeated product label or phrase in a draft.
  • check_circle Remove a known literal fragment by leaving Replace With empty.

Inputs and results

Input: Source, find/replacement text and case-sensitivity choice.

Output: Edited text with copy/clear.

How it works

1

Paste a copy of your source text.

2

Enter the exact Find text and the replacement, which may be blank.

3

Select Match Case when capitalization must match, then choose Replace All Occurrences.

4

Review the changed words and copy the result. Keep the source for recovery.

Examples

science Case-sensitive choice

For red RED, replacing red with blue gives blue blue when Match Case is off, and blue RED when it is on.

science Matches inside words

Replacing cat with dog also changes catalog to dogalog. Include suitable surrounding text when you need a narrower match.

Limitations

Literal substring replacement, not regular expressions or whole-word search. Results overwrite the editor; there is no separate original pane or dedicated undo history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I search with a regex? expand_more
No. Characters such as dots and brackets are treated literally. Use the Regex Tester to experiment with JavaScript patterns separately.
Are dollar signs interpreted in the replacement? expand_more
No. Replacement text is inserted literally, including $& and dollar amounts; it is not a replacement-expression language.
