Find and Replace Text Free
Searches your text for a string or pattern and replaces or deletes every match. Supports regular expressions.
When using a regular expression, you can use backreferences like $1 in the replacement text.
About this tool
You can turn on case-sensitive matching, and use a regular expression instead of a plain string.
With a regular expression, the replacement text can reference the matched groups with $1, $2 and so on.
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to our server.
When to use it
Useful for cleaning up pasted text, updating a placeholder across a document, or rewriting a pattern of text — such as turning a heading into a link — in one pass.
Deleting text instead of replacing it
Leave the replacement field empty to delete every match instead of replacing it.
FAQ
- Is the search case-sensitive?
- Turn on "Case sensitive" to match uppercase and lowercase exactly. Leave it off and the search ignores case.
- What happens if my regular expression is invalid?
- An error message is shown and no replacement is made until the pattern is valid.
