Find and replace across files with control.

Search one document, scan an entire workspace, or process a file too large to open normally—then review broader replacements before DeltaTxt changes anything.

Search results across Python files in a DeltaTxt workspace

Use the right search for the job

Inside a document

Find or replace plain text and regular expressions with case, whole-word, wraparound, match counting, and grouped undo controls.

Across a workspace

Search related source, configuration, and log files together, then open an exact result at its file, line, and column.

Inside a very large file

Use bounded-memory search and literal replacement without first loading the entire file into an editable tab.

Preview broader replacements

Workspace replacement builds a plan before it writes. DeltaTxt rechecks the affected files, lets you review the scope, and creates a timestamped backup tree so an unexpected change is recoverable.

Keep matching behavior consistent

Case sensitivity, whole-word matching, regular expressions, and extended escape syntax behave consistently across document and workspace tools. That makes a search easier to refine before it becomes a replacement.

Useful for code, configs, and logs

  • Rename a key across related configuration files.
  • Update a repeated Python pattern after reviewing every match.
  • Redact or normalize a large exported log with an optional backup.
  • Find an identifier across source, output, and supporting text.

Use DeltaTxt for this workflow.
