Frequently asked questions

How do I use capture groups like $1?

Tick Regex, wrap parts of the pattern in parentheses and reference them in the replacement. Example: find (\w+)@(\w+)\.com and replace with $2: $1 turns "ann@acme.com" into "acme: ann". Use $& for the whole match.

What does "whole word" do?

It only matches when the search term is not part of a longer word, so replacing "cat" will not touch "category" or "concat".

How do I replace line breaks?

Enable Regex and search for \n. For example, replace \n with ", " to turn a list into a comma-separated line.

Why does it say invalid regular expression?

Characters like ( [ . * + ? have special meaning in regex. Escape them with a backslash, or untick Regex to search for the literal text.
