Find and Replace

How to use the find and replace

1. Paste your text.
2. Type the word or phrase to find, and what to replace it with. Leave the replacement empty to delete matches.
3. Use Whole words only so “cat” doesn’t change “catalog”.
4. Copy the result. The label shows how many replacements were made.

Using regular expressions

With Regular expression on, the find field is a JavaScript regex. Use $1, $2 in the replacement to insert captured groups, and $& for the whole match.

• \s+ → a single space: collapse runs of whitespace.
• (\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) → $3/$2/$1: reformat dates.
