The Find & Replace Text tool is a fast, free online string replacer. It allows you to search through massive blocks of text for a specific word or phrase and instantly replace all occurrences with a new string of your choice.
Common Uses for Find and Replace
This tool is highly beneficial for developers refactoring code, writers updating character names in a manuscript, or data entry clerks cleaning up CSV files. Doing this manually could take hours, but our tool does it instantly.
Advanced Search Options
Our tool supports Case Sensitivity, meaning a search for \"apple\" will not match \"Apple\" if toggled. It also supports Whole Word matching, which ensures that searching for \"cat\" will not accidentally replace the letters inside the word \"category\".
How to use this tool
- Paste your source text into the large \"Original Text\" area.
- In the \"Find\" field, type the exact word or phrase you want to locate.
- In the \"Replace with\" field, type the new text.
- Toggle the \"Case Sensitive\" or \"Whole Word Only\" options if needed.
- Click the \"Replace All\" button to see the results instantly.
