Question 1

Does this tool support regular expressions?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Enable the Regex option to use regular expressions for pattern matching. Supports all standard JavaScript regex syntax including groups, quantifiers, and lookaheads.

Question 2

What is whole word matching?

Accepted Answer

Whole word matching ensures only complete words are matched. For example, searching 'cat' won't match 'catalog' or 'scattered'.

Can I see the matches before replacing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, click 'Find All' to highlight all matches in the text with the match count, before performing any replacements.

Question 4

Does it support case-insensitive search?

Accepted Answer

Yes, toggle the Case Sensitive option off to match regardless of letter case. 'Hello' will match 'hello', 'HELLO', etc.

Question 5

How do I use regex capture groups in replacement?

Accepted Answer

Use $1, $2, etc. in the replacement field to reference captured groups. For example, searching '(\w+)@(\w+)' and replacing with '$1 at $2' restructures email-like patterns.
