What is the Find and Replace Tool?
Ever had that moment where you needed to change every instance of "cat" to "dog" in a long document? 🐱➡️🐶 Say goodbye to the tedious manual search and welcome the Find and Replace Tool! This handy tool allows you to quickly search for specific text in your input and replace it with something else. Whether you're correcting typos or rebranding your entire document, this tool is here to save the day!
How to Use the Find and Replace Tool
- Enter Your Text: Start by pasting your text into the Input Text area. Don’t be shy—let it all out!
- Specify What to Find: In the Find field, type the word or phrase you want to replace.
- Enter Replacement Text: In the Replace with field, type what you'd like to substitute instead.
- Adjust Your Options:
- Match Case: Toggle this switch if you want your search to be case-sensitive (so "Cat" won't match "cat").
- Whole Word Only: Enable this if you want to ensure only complete words are replaced. So, searching for "cat" won't affect "category."
- Hit the Button: Click on the Find and Replace button and let the magic happen!
Example of Use
Let's say you have the following text in your input area:
Cats are amazing. I love my cat. Every cat deserves love.
- Find:
cat - Replace with:
dog - Match Case: Off
- Whole Word Only: On
After hitting the button, your output will be:
Cats are amazing. I love my dog. Every dog deserves love.
