Changing a name, a date or a repeated phrase throughout a long text by hand is slow and risky. Find and replace does it in one step.

Open Find and ReplaceHow to use it
- Open Find and Replace and paste your text.
- Type what to find and what to replace it with.
- Choose options: Match case, Whole word or Regular expression.
- Check the count of replacements and copy the result.
Match case
With match case on, Apple and apple are different. Leave it off to replace both.
Regular expressions
A regular expression is a pattern. For example, \d+ finds any number. Regex is powerful but can replace more than you expect, so test it on a small piece of text first.
Safety
Keep a copy of the original. If a replacement goes wrong, you can paste the original back and try again.
