Frequently Asked Questions
What are regular expressions?
Regular expressions (regex) are patterns used to match character combinations in text. They enable advanced searching with wildcards, character classes, quantifiers, and more powerful pattern matching than simple text search.
How do I escape special characters in regex?
In regex mode, special characters like ., *, +, ?, ^, $, [], (), {} have special meanings. To match these characters literally, escape them with a backslash (\). For example, to find a literal dot, use '\.' instead of '.'
Can I search across multiple lines?
Yes! Enable the 'Multiline mode' option to search across multiple lines. This allows patterns like '^' and '$' to match the start and end of lines, and '.' to match newline characters when needed.
Is there an undo feature?
While there's no built-in undo, you can use the 'History' feature to see previous replacements and manually revert changes. We recommend saving your original text before making bulk replacements.
Can I process multiple files at once?
Yes! Upload multiple files and they will all be processed with the same search and replace rules. Each file will generate its own result, which you can download individually or all together.
