Literal Find and Replace
Replace every exact, case-sensitive occurrence of a literal string. Regex syntax and replacement tokens have no special meaning. Input is limited to one million units, find/replacement to 10,000 each, and output to four million.
How to use Literal Find and Replace
- Enter or paste “Source text”. Follow the separators and formatting described in the tool introduction.
- Enter “Literal text to find”, using the units and limits shown in its label.
- Enter “Replacement text”, using the units and limits shown in its label.
- Select Calculate or Process. Review the result and any validation message before copying or downloading available output. Reset clears the result and restores the starting inputs.
Method & assumptions
Split the source on the nonempty find string and join using the literal replacement.
Worked example
Replacing red with green yields green apple, green berry.
Results and projections are informational estimates, not financial, medical, legal, tax, or property advice. Check assumptions, units, rounding, and local requirements independently. Investment illustrations do not guarantee returns. Keep original files and check transformed output before use.
Questions, answered
Can I use regular expressions or $&?
No. This is intentionally literal and safe for untrusted patterns. No regular expression supplied by a user is compiled or executed.
Does this send my input to a server?
No. This engine processes input locally without network requests. The surrounding website may have its own analytics or scripts; avoid entering sensitive material on an untrusted site. Text fields accept at most 1,000,000 UTF-16 units unless a smaller field limit is stated.
