Regular expression examples
| Find | What it matches |
|---|---|
\d{10} | Any 10-digit number, such as a phone number |
\s+ | One or more spaces, tabs or line breaks |
https?://\S+ | Web links |
^\s*-\s* | Dashes at the start of lines |
(\w+)@(\w+) | Simple email parts, with $1 and $2 usable in Replace |
With regular expressions on, you can use $1, $2 in the replacement to reuse captured parts.
Be careful with short words
Replacing a short word like “in” without “Whole words only” also changes words that contain it, such as “online” and “insta”. Turn on whole words for short replacements, and check the count before copying. For bigger clean-ups, our extra space remover helps too.
