Find & Replace Tool — Text Pattern Workspace
Client-side text workspace — pair with regex-tester for pattern find and replace
How to Use This Tool
- Paste source text into the textarea.
- Click Transform — generic-text runs locally for this slug.
- No find-replace rules match find-replace-tool slug today — passthrough output.
- Copy output for tickets or downstream editors.
- Prototype patterns in regex-tester with live match highlighting.
- Apply confirmed patterns in your IDE or scripting environment.
About This Tool
Bulk renaming keys in exported JSON, swapping domain strings in config templates, and updating product codenames in draft docs all need reliable find-and-replace — usually with regex awareness for edge cases. VSPIC find-replace-tool maps to generic-text client kind in missing-tools-handlers.generated.ts: textarea plus Transform button with slug-aware transformText.
The slug find-replace-tool does not match dedicated find-replace or regex rules in transformText today, so Transform returns input unchanged. For working pattern match, capture groups, and replace preview, use regex-tester on VSPIC. Use this page as a paste workspace while iterating replacements manually or before moving patterns into regex-tester.
Common use cases
- •Inspect HTTP headers and user-agent strings
- •Analyze email headers for phishing investigation
- •Generate strong passwords for staging environments
Why use VSPIC for ?
- Browser-only staging area for replacement drafts.
- Honest passthrough documentation — no false automation claims.
- Copy button for ticket attachment workflows.
- Pairs with regex-tester for real pattern development.
- No upload — proprietary templates stay local.
- Free workspace after page load.
Find-replace expectations versus generic-text handler
Full find-replace UIs expose search string, replacement string, regex toggle, case sensitivity, and scope (selection vs whole file). generic-text utility fallback provides textarea and Transform only.
find-replace-tool slug lacks matching transformText tokens — we document passthrough and route pattern work to regex-tester.
Use regex-tester for pattern matching
regex-tester runs JavaScript RegExp against sample text with match highlighting, flag toggles, and replace preview. Develop patterns there before batch replace in CI or editors.
Common tasks: validate log extraction regex, test URL rewrite rules, confirm negative lookahead for email sanitization.
Manual replace workflow on this page
Paste source, edit manually in textarea, copy result. Suitable for one-off literal string swaps without spinning up an IDE.
Document each manual change in commit messages when migrating configs.
Relationship to case-converter
When replace goal is naming convention migration — API snake_case to camelCase — case-converter outputs all conventions from one phrase faster than iterative find-replace.
Relationship to json-formatter-validator
Pretty-print JSON before textual find-replace so key order and indent are stable. Invalid JSON breaks downstream parsers after string substitution.
Client-side privacy
Templates with secrets stay in browser memory. Never paste production credentials into any online tool without policy approval — clear textarea after use.
Batch and CI replacement
sed, ripgrep --replace, and IDE multi-cursor beat browser paste for repository-wide changes. This page suits ad hoc paste from tickets and Slack snippets.
Future dedicated find-replace UI
Registry may upgrade this slug with search and replace fields or regex integration. Content will update when handler type changes.
Word boundaries and literal dots
Regex replace treats dots as wildcards unless escaped. regex-tester helps catch catastrophic backtracking before production scripts run.
Important notes & limitations
- No interactive find and replace fields on this slug today.
- generic-text passthrough — Transform does not substitute strings.
- No regex flags UI — use regex-tester instead.
- Does not preserve undo history across transforms.
- Single buffer — not multi-file project replace.
