How to use Find and Replace

1. Paste the text you want to edit.
2. Enter the find and replace values, separated by a vertical bar.
3. Run the replacement and review the updated text.
4. Copy the result once every intended change is confirmed.

Check your result before using it

Try the replacement on a short passage containing both the intended word and a longer word that includes it. Check capitalization, punctuation and line breaks in the result. A literal replacement can alter part of an identifier or URL when you only meant to change prose. Keep the original text and inspect each changed context before applying a broad replacement to a document or configuration file.

When to use Find and Replace

• Replace an outdated product name throughout a short release note
• Update a repeated URL or label across pasted text
• Fix a consistent typo across multiple lines at once

Important limitations

• Matching is literal and case-sensitive rather than regular-expression based.
• The second field uses a vertical bar to separate Find from Replace.
