Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the Find & Replace Tool, and who is it for?
The Find & Replace Tool performs bulk text replacement, ideal for writers editing documents, developers updating code, students formatting assignments, or editors ensuring consistency. It supports case-sensitive and regex-based replacements.
What does "Case Sensitive" mean?
When checked, "Case Sensitive" ensures the tool matches text exactly, including uppercase and lowercase letters (e.g., "Text" won’t match "text"). Unchecked, it ignores case.
How does "Use Regular Expression" work?
Enabling "Use Regular Expression" treats the "Find" field as a regex pattern (e.g., \b\w+\b matches whole words). Ensure valid regex syntax to avoid errors. The tool uses JavaScript’s RegExp engine.
Can I replace large amounts of text?
Yes, the tool handles text of any length, from single sentences to large documents. Processing is instant, but copying large texts depends on your browser’s clipboard capacity.
Is my text stored or shared?
No, all processing occurs locally in your browser. No data is sent to servers, ensuring privacy for sensitive text like code or personal documents.
How is the history log stored?
The history log is saved in your browser’s local storage, persisting across sessions until you clear browser data. Each entry includes find/replace terms and the result for easy reuse.
Does the tool support non-English text?
Yes, it supports Unicode text, including non-English languages like Spanish, Chinese, or Arabic. Regular expressions can also match non-Latin characters if properly defined.
Is the tool accessible?
Yes, it features high-contrast visuals, keyboard navigation (Tab to focus, Enter to replace), and screen-reader-compatible labels. Feedback is welcome to enhance accessibility.
Can I use this for coding?
Yes, developers can use it to update variable names, fix code patterns, or refactor text in scripts. Regex support is especially useful for complex replacements. Copy results directly into your editor.
What happens if I enter invalid regex?
If "Use Regular Expression" is checked and the regex is invalid, the tool will display a notification prompting you to correct the pattern. Use valid JavaScript regex syntax.
