Find and Replace
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
Find and replace search for a particular text and replace it with another text, either one appearance or all at once. Case-sensitive, whole word, and regex options make replacement more accurate. This feature is very helpful for refining documents, code, or lists of data. Always review the results because mass replacement can affect the unwanted part.
Key points
- Replace all replace all appearances in one process
- Case-sensitive differentiates between capital and capital letters
- Whole word prevents substitution in the middle of another word
- Regex allows for flexible patterns but must be tested
- Replacement sequences are important if the patterns overlap.
