Frequently asked questions

What is Find and replace text?

Replace every occurrence of a word or phrase in your text at once.

When would I actually use this?

Cleaning up a paste before it goes anywhere: stripping duplicates from a list, normalising case, removing accents for a filename, or sorting lines.

What is the most common mistake?

Sorting text as if it were ASCII. Accented letters land after Z in a byte sort, which puts "Zurich" before "Émile" and produces a list no reader will accept.

How is Find and replace text different from Find duplicate lines?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Find duplicate lines is the one to open when you need it to show only the lines that appear more than once in your text. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Fullwidth / aesthetic text is the closest one after this: Convert text to fullwidth 'vaporwave' characters (Ｈｅｌｌｏ).

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Reverse text and Strikethrough & underline text — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Transformations use the browser's Unicode-aware string handling, so case changes and sorting respect the locale rather than byte order. Nothing is truncated: what comes out is the whole of what went in.
