Replaced Output (Find: user_id, Replace: customerId)

const customerId = 123; console.log(customerId);

Advanced Find and Replace

When dealing with massive log files, codebases, or raw text data, sometimes you need more than a basic text editor's replace tool. Our Find & Replace utility operates entirely in your browser, enabling you to execute instantaneous, bulk text substitutions on gigabytes of text without crashing your system.

Mastering Regular Expressions (Regex)

The true power of this tool unlocks when you enable Use Regex. Rather than finding a literal string, Regex allows you to find dynamic patterns:

  • Data Sanitization: Easily find all instances of phone numbers like `\d3-\d3-\d4` and replace them with `[REDACTED]`.
  • Code Refactoring: Match complex CSS class definitions or JavaScript function parameters.
  • Formatting: Reorder dates from `MM/DD/YYYY` to `YYYY-MM-DD` using regex capture groups.

Privacy

Replacing API keys or confidential client names? Because our Find & Replace engine runs natively via JavaScript in your browser, your text is completely invisible to our servers. Enjoy the power of a heavy-duty processing engine with zero data-leak risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is "Match Case" enabled by default?

No. By default, finding "apple" will also replace "Apple" and "APPLE". You must explicitly enable Match Case for strict matching.

Can I replace text with a blank string?

Yes. Simply leave the "Replace" input empty, and the tool will effectively act as a deletion tool, completely removing your target text.

How to use Find & Replace Text

  1. Paste or type your input into the editor on the left.
  2. Leave the defaults, or tweak them if the tool exposes options.
  3. The result appears on the right as you type.
  4. Copy the output or download it.

This tool runs in your browser. Your input is not uploaded or stored.

Use it from the API

Everything this page does is also available as a REST endpoint, so you can call Find & Replace Text from your own code, a script or a CI pipeline.
