About this Find & Replace Text
The Find & Replace Text tool changes repeated text in a larger block without requiring a desktop editor. It supports case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching and reports how many replacements were made.
For related tasks, try Case Converter, Text Reverser or Prefix / Suffix Lines.
How the calculation works
The search term is treated as literal text rather than a regular expression, which avoids unexpected special-character behavior.
How to use it
- Paste the source text.
- Enter the text to find and its replacement.
- Choose case sensitivity and apply the replacement.
Practical example
Replacing “cat” with “dog” changes every matching occurrence according to the selected case setting.
