About Find and Replace Text

Find and replace text in bulk when one change isn't enough: rename a product across a whole price list, swap old placeholders in a template, fix a name that's misspelled five different ways, or tidy up exported data before it goes into a spreadsheet. Add as many rules as you need. They run from top to bottom, and the result and the number of replacements update as you type.

Matching ignores capitals unless you tick Match case, and Whole words stops cat from changing inside category. Turn on Regular expressions for patterns, such as \d{4} for any four digits, and reuse captured groups in the replacement with $1, $2 and so on. It all runs in your browser, so documents never leave your device.

FAQ

Find and Replace Text: questions and answers

Can I find and replace text with regular expressions?
Yes. Tick Regular expressions and write the pattern in Find, then use $1 or $2 in Replace with to insert captured groups. The syntax is the one used by JavaScript. To try a pattern on sample text first, the Regex Tester highlights every match and group as you type.
Why were words with capital letters replaced too?
Matching ignores case by default. Tick Match case to replace only the exact capitalization you typed.
How do I find and replace text in a Word document?
This tool works on plain text. For DOCX, XLSX or PPTX files with their formatting intact, use Find and Replace in Word, which handles several Office files at once.
Do the rules run in order?
Yes, from top to bottom, and each rule works on the result of the one before. Put longer phrases first if a shorter rule would break them.
Is my document uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser and doesn't use your daily tasks, and the draft stays only in this browser.
