Frequently asked questions

Can I use regex capture groups?

Yes. Enable regex mode and use $1, $2 etc. in the replacement to reference capture groups from the pattern.

What does whole-word matching do?

It only matches when the search term is bounded by non-word characters. "cat" won't match inside "concatenate".

Is there a size limit?

The tool handles texts up to about 1 MB. Very large documents may take a moment.
