Info

About

• This is a simple tool for replacing text fragments.
• Click "+ Create rule" to create a replacement rule.
• Any appearance of the first text fragment in the input will be replaced by the second.
• The order of execution is from top to bottom.
• Click the "^" button to move the rule up.
• Click the "V" button to move the rule down.
• Press the Shift key and click the buttons to make the rule go up to the top, or down to the bottom of the list.

Special cases

• To remove a text fragment, leave the second text box in the rule creator blank.
  • Ex: "Replace [abcd] with []" removes all appearances of "abcd" from the input text.
• To insert a fragment between each character, leave the first text box in the rule creator blank.
  • Ex: "Replace [] eith [, ]" inserts a comma and a space after every character in the input text.
• You can use "\n" (backslash + n) to represent a line break (Enter key) in the rule creator.
  • Ex: "Replace [\n] with [;\n]" inserts a semicolon after each line.
• Use "\number" in the first text box in the rule creator to insert a fragment at that position in the text. Use "\end" to represent the last character.
  • Ex: "Replace [\0] with [Hello, ]" places "Hello, " at the beginning of the text.
  • Ex: "Replace [\6] with [wasd]" places "wasd" before the sixth character of the text.
  • Ex: "Replace [\end] with [!]" places an exclamation mark at the end of the text.
• Use "\number-number" in the first text box in the rule creator to replace the characters between each position with a fragment. Use "end" in either place to represent the last character.
  • Ex: "Replace [\0-end] with []" deletes the entire text.
  • Ex: "Replace [\6-10] with [wasd]" replaces characters 6 through 10 with "wasd".
  • Ex: "Replace [\end-0] with [ ]" repeats the text twice with a space in between.
• Use "\\number" in the first text box in the rule creator so as to not obey the substitution rules above. In that case the two backslashes will act as a single one.
  • Ex: "Replace [\\0] with []" removes "\0" from the text.
  • Ex: "Replace [\\\end-6] with []" removes "\\end-6" from the text.
