Practical ways to use this tool
Focused tasks
List cleanup
Remove an unwanted literal fragment by using an empty replacement.
Text preparation
Controlled edits
Use case sensitivity or whole-word matching to narrow the change.
Features and how to use them
Control the matching boundary
Use Match case and Whole words only when a broad replacement would change too much.
How this transformation works
Find is treated as a literal string, so punctuation such as periods or brackets does not act as a regular expression. Matching ignores case unless Match case is enabled. Whole words only checks that a match is not directly next to a letter, number or underscore. Replacement text is inserted literally; an empty replacement removes the matches.
Set the available controls
Choose the options before applying the transformation.
Options and initial settings
Find: initially "apple". Replace with: initially "orange". Match case: initially off. Whole words only: initially off.

A short input makes the transformation easier to inspect.

Opening and applying the tool
The entry screen accepts one UTF-8 TXT, CSV, JSON, XML, HTML or HTM file and opens the editor. Imports are text content, not a PDF or Word conversion. Review the source and choose Find Replace Text when ready. Editing or importing alone does not apply the transformation.
Review, save or continue
Check the report before saving or continuing with the text.
Using the finished text
Result overview shows Replacements and the input-to-result character totals. The replacement count follows the literal search, case and whole-word settings; it is not estimated from the change in text length. Copy the reviewed text or use the download icon to save UTF-8 TXT. Editing the result hides the calculated details until you run the tool again. Continue to offers compatible next tools for the current text and their limits. Review the transferred text before running the next operation.
