A LITTLE GUIDANCE

Text Find & Replace guide

Find an exact text string and replace matching occurrences without regular-expression syntax.

How to use

  1. Type or paste the original text.
  2. Enter the search and replacement strings and choose case sensitivity.
  3. Review the changed text and copy the result.

Worked example

Input
Use cat Cat cat as input, find cat, replace with dog and enable case sensitivity.
Result
The result is dog Cat dog. The capitalized Cat is unchanged.

Common questions

Do dots or asterisks act as special patterns?

No. This is not a regular-expression tool. Searching for a.b matches the literal text a.b, including the dot.

What changes when case sensitivity is off?

Letter case is ignored when finding matches. Replacing cat with dog changes both cat and Cat to the replacement dog.
