Frequently Asked Questions
Does the tool support regular expressions?
Yes. You can toggle regex mode to use full regular expression syntax for pattern matching. This supports capture groups, lookaheads, character classes, and other advanced regex features.
Can I replace text in a case-insensitive way?
Yes. Toggle the case-sensitivity option to match text regardless of letter case. For example, searching for "hello" will match "Hello", "HELLO", and "hello" when case-insensitive mode is enabled.
Is there a limit on how much text I can process?
There is no hard limit imposed by the tool. The practical limit depends on your browser and device memory. Most users can comfortably process documents with hundreds of thousands of characters.
