Find & Replace

Options

• Case-sensitive — when on, "Hello" and "hello" are treated as different strings.
• Use regex — enables JavaScript regular expressions. For example \bword\b matches whole words only.
• Replace all — when on, every match is replaced. Uncheck to replace only the first match.

Using Regex in the Find Field

• \d+ — matches one or more digits.
• \s+ — matches one or more whitespace characters.
• \bword\b — matches the whole word, not inside other words.
• (foo|bar) — matches either "foo" or "bar".

Deleting Text

Leave the Replace field completely empty to delete every occurrence of the search term — useful for stripping unwanted tags, HTML attributes, or repeated phrases.

Regex Capture Groups and Backreferences

When Regex mode is on, you can reference captured groups in the Replace field using $1, $2, etc. This allows transformations like reformatting dates or swapping word order without writing a script.
