Find and Replace Text - Bulk Text Editor

What is a find and replace tool?

A find and replace tool searches for a specific string in your text and swaps every occurrence with a replacement. It handles single characters, words, or phrases. Use it to update names, correct typos, or transform data in bulk.

How to use find and replace

  1. Paste your text: Add the content you want to modify.
  2. Enter find string: Type the word or phrase to search for.
  3. Enter replace string: Type what to replace it with (leave empty to delete).
  4. Replace: Click Replace All and copy the updated text.

Why use this tool?

  • Bulk edits: Update hundreds of occurrences faster than manual changes.
  • Data cleaning: Standardize formats, fix typos, or remove unwanted characters.
  • Template filling: Swap placeholders like {{NAME}} with actual values.

Use case 1: Name changes

Replace an old company name with a new one across all marketing copy.

Use case 2: Data formatting

Swap commas for semicolons in CSV data before import.

Use case 3: Template variables

Fill placeholder tokens in email templates with real values.

Examples

Basic example

Text: Hello {{name}}, welcome to the team!
Find: {{name}}
Replace: Sarah
Output: Hello Sarah, welcome to the team!

Advanced example

Text: Product descriptions with "old-brand" appearing 50 times
Find: old-brand
Replace: NewBrand
Output: All 50 instances updated.

Common errors

Case sensitivity

By default, "apple" won't match "Apple." Enable case-insensitive mode or normalize casing first.

Partial matches

Searching for "cat" will match "category." Use word boundaries or check results carefully.

Tips and proven approaches

  • Preview changes before copying to catch unintended replacements.
  • For regex patterns, escape special characters like . and *.
  • Combine with the duplicate line remover to clean up repeated lines after replacement.
