Find and replace text

Replace words or characters in your text. Add as many find/replace pairs as you like; they are applied one after the other, from top to bottom.

Use \n for a new line and \t for a tab.

How it works

  1. Paste your text

    Type or paste the text in the left box, or open a .txt file. No text to hand? Click Example.

  2. Instant result

    The result appears as you type. Change the options and see straight away what changes.

  3. Copy or download

    Copy the result with one click, save it as a file or use it as input for a next step.

Options

  • Match case (on by default): Weather and weather are different. Untick it to find both.
  • Whole words only: sun won't match inside sunny.
  • Regular expression (advanced): search with a pattern such as \d+ or (\w+)@(\w+). In the replacement, $1, $2 and so on insert the groups, and $& inserts the whole match.

In the fields, \n means a line break and \t a tab. This is how you replace line breaks with commas, or add a tab between columns.

The note shows how many replacements were made. If your pattern is invalid, the tool says so instead of doing something unexpected. To test patterns without replacing, use the regex tester.
