What is a text replacer?
Find-and-replace with the switches you actually reach for: ignore case, whole word and regex, each a toggle. Every occurrence changes in one pass and the match count tells you how many did, so replacing colour with color across a 5,000-word draft takes one action, not fifty. NMSnabbit keeps the operation on your machine; pasted text is never sent out.
How to use the Text Replacer
- 1 Add your text, then fill the find and replace fields.
- 2 Switch on ignore-case, whole-word or regex where the job calls for it.
- 3 Check the match count to confirm the scope of the change.
- 4 Copy the updated text out of the result pane.
What you can use it for
- Swapping a renamed term throughout a draft.
- Cleaning placeholder words out of a template.
- Fixing a repeated typo in pasted content.
- Bulk-editing exported data or logs.
Frequently asked questions
Is the replacement applied to all matches at once?
Yes, every occurrence in one pass, and the count that appears tells you exactly how many changed. There is no one-at-a-time stepping.
What does the whole-word toggle actually do?
It requires word boundaries around the match, so replacing “cat” no longer edits “category” or “scattered” by accident.
Can I use capture groups in the replacement?
With regex mode on, yes: search (\d+)-(\d+) and replace with $2-$1 to swap the two numbers around a dash.
