What regex syntax does it use?

It uses standard JavaScript regular expression syntax. Group references (like $1) can also be used in the replacement string.

Can I search case-insensitively?

Yes. Turn on the "Case-insensitive" option to match regardless of letter case.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. All replacement happens entirely in your browser.

What does $1 mean in the replacement?

A back-reference to a capture group — e.g. (\d{4})-(\d{2}) → $2/$1 swaps year and month.

How do I match a literal dot or bracket?

Escape regex specials with a backslash — \. \( \[ . Turning regex off searches literally.

✏️ Find & Replace Text

Example

Input

start: 2026-07-22
end:   2026-07-25

Output

start: 2026/07/22
end:   2026/07/25

With "Use regex" and "Replace all" turned on, setting the find pattern to (\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) and the replacement to $1/$2/$3 uses the captured groups ($1·$2·$3) to reformat every YYYY-MM-DD date into YYYY/MM/DD at once.

Regex pattern cheat sheet

Beyond literal replace, it supports regular expressions. Frequently used patterns:

Pattern	Meaning
`\d`	One digit (0-9) — `\d+` matches runs of digits
`\w`	Word character — `\w+` matches a word
`\s`	Whitespace, tab or newline
`(pattern)`	Capture group — referenced as `$1` in the replacement
Flag `g`	Global — replace every match, not just the first
Flag `i`	Case-insensitive matching
