Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about using this free online find and replace.
How does "Match Whole Words Only" prevent accidental replacements? ▾
It wraps the search pattern with word boundary assertions (`\b`), ensuring that searching for "cat" will replace "cat" but will not mistakenly modify words like "category" or "scatter".
Can I use capture groups in Regular Expression mode? ▾
Yes. When RegEx mode is enabled, you can use capture groups like `(\w+)` in the find field and reference them with `$1`, `$2` in the replacement field.
Can I find and replace newline line breaks? ▾
Yes. Enable RegEx mode and use `\n` (or `\r\n`) in the search or replacement input to reformat multi-line structures.
Does this tool support bulk multi-line replacements? ▾
Yes. Both the Find and Replace input areas support multi-line blocks of text.
