THE BASICS

What Is Find and Replace?

Find and replace swaps every occurrence of one piece of text for another. It is the fastest way to fix a repeated typo, rename something throughout a document, or reformat data without editing line by line.

With regular expressions you can go further, matching patterns such as dates or email addresses and rearranging them using captured groups like $1 and $2.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few things, answered.

Quick answers about using the MoSanKit Find and Replace Text.

Not by default. Tick Match case if capitals must match exactly.

It only matches complete words, so searching for "art" will not change "start" or "party".

Switch on regular expressions, wrap parts of the pattern in brackets and use $1, $2 and so on in the replacement. $& inserts the whole match and $<name> inserts a named group.

Leave the Replace with box empty and every match is removed.

With regular expressions on, special characters such as ( ) [ ] and * need to be written correctly. The error message shows what to fix.

No. Everything runs in your browser.
