What is a word swap tool?
Built for the single-word edit: type the word, type its stand-in, and a live counter reports how many were swapped before you copy anything. Renaming a character from Elena to Mira across a manuscript shows the exact tally, and a zero where you expected forty means the search term itself is misspelled. Whole-word matching is on from the start.
How to use the Word Swap Tool
- 1 Insert the text that needs one word changed.
- 2 Enter the word and what should stand in for it.
- 3 Confirm the live counter matches the number of swaps you expected.
- 4 Copy the result.
What you can use it for
- Swapping character names in a story draft.
- Trading one keyword for another in marketing copy.
- Updating a variable name in a code comment.
- Replacing a placeholder token in a template.
Frequently asked questions
When would I use this over the general text replacer?
When the job is one word and you want confirmation: whole-word matching starts enabled and the counter updates live, so you see 37 swaps rather than just changed text.
Can phrases with punctuation be swapped?
They can if you turn whole-word off, since boundaries are defined by letters and digits and punctuation inside a phrase interferes with them.
Is anything outside the matched word altered?
Nothing. Spacing, punctuation and the case of untouched words stay byte-for-byte identical; only the matched word is exchanged.
