Text Tools
Find and replace, with a count
Paste text, say what to find and what to replace it with, and see how many replacements were made. That count is the point — “replaced 0” tells you the pattern is wrong, which identical-looking output does not.
The search is plain text, so characters like . and * match themselves.

How it works
The search is literal unless you say otherwise
Looking for “a.b” finds “a.b” and not “axb”, because the search text is escaped before it is used. That is what people expect and what most tools get wrong by treating everything as a pattern. Regular expressions are available behind a checkbox for when you do want them.
A broken pattern is a message, not a crash
Typing an unclosed bracket while writing a regular expression is normal. Rather than let that throw an error mid-keystroke and take the page with it, the pattern is compiled defensively and the problem is reported under the field.
Whole-word matching means what it says
With it on, searching for “cat” changes “cat” but leaves “cats” and “concatenate” alone. Without it, all three match — which is the classic way a careless replace mangles a document.
What it does
A live count of replacements
Updates as you type, so you know immediately whether the pattern matches what you think it does.
Case, whole word and regex
Three independent switches. Case-insensitive by default, because that is what catches inconsistently typed text.
Capture groups supported
In regex mode, $1 and $2 in the replacement refer to captured groups — enough to reformat dates or swap the halves of a list.
Nothing uploaded
The replacement runs in your browser, so documents you would not paste into a stranger’s server are safe to work on here.
Practical advice
Getting a better result
- Leave the replacement field blank to delete every match rather than replace it.
- Turn on whole-word matching before replacing short words. Replacing “is” without it will find it inside “this” and “list”.
- Check the count before copying the result. It is the fastest way to catch a pattern that matched far more or far less than you intended.
- In regex mode, \d matches a digit, \s whitespace, and + means one or more of the preceding thing.
Questions
Things people ask
Does it support regular expressions?
Yes, behind a checkbox. It is off by default so that searching for characters like . * and ? finds those characters rather than being interpreted as a pattern. With it on, capture groups are available in the replacement as $1, $2 and so on.
Why does my replacement affect words I did not mean?
Almost always because whole-word matching is off. Searching for “art” will otherwise match inside “start” and “particle”. Turn it on and only the standalone word is replaced.
Is the search case-sensitive?
Not by default, because inconsistently typed text is the common case. Tick “match case” when the difference matters — for identifiers, code or anything case-carrying.
