Introducing Find and Replace

Find and Replace is now live on Tools.Town — a text editing utility that searches any block of text and replaces matches, with support for regular expressions, case sensitivity, whole-word matching, and a live match count.

Paste your text, type what to find, type the replacement, and get the updated text in one click.

What Does It Do?

Find

Locate every occurrence of a string or regex pattern with highlighted matches and a match count.

Replace

Replace all occurrences, or just the first. Supports regex capture groups in replacement patterns ($1, $2).

Match Options

Toggle case sensitivity, whole-word matching, and regex mode independently for precise control.

Regex mode supports full JavaScript regex syntax — including lookaheads, groups, and character classes.

How It Works

Paste text

Paste the text block you want to modify into the main input area.

→

Enter pattern

Type the search string (or regex). Matches are highlighted and counted in real time.

→

Replace & copy

Enter your replacement text, click Replace All, and copy the modified result.

Why We Built It

Your code editor has Find & Replace built in, but it’s locked to files. When you’re working with text from a spreadsheet, an API response, a config snippet, or a scraped block of content, you need Find & Replace in your browser without opening a full editor. This tool fills that gap — fast, accessible from any tab, and capable enough to handle regex patterns.
