Find and Replace

Frequently Asked Questions

What search options are available?

You can search with case sensitivity enabled/disabled, use regular expressions for complex patterns, or match whole words only. These options help you find exactly what you're looking for with precision.

Can I use regular expressions?

Yes! Enable the "Use regular expressions" checkbox to use regex patterns. This allows for powerful pattern matching like "\d+" to find numbers, "[A-Z]" to find uppercase letters, or complex patterns for advanced users.

How does the "Find All" feature work?

The "Find All" button locates all matches in your text and wraps them in special markers (β¦— and ⦘) so you can easily see where the matches are. The total match count is displayed in the statistics.

What happens if my regex is invalid?

If you enter an invalid regular expression pattern, the tool will alert you and suggest checking your input. Make sure to escape special characters properly or disable regex mode for simple text searches.
