Search and Replace on the Web

Search and Replace - In Browser Edition

I created a web page where you can enter a block of text, then run a search-and-replace operation on it. Why? Why not!

I think I’ll add regular expressions next. I added regular expression support, which was really easy with PHP.

Maybe I’ll add the ability to upload a file and replace text server-side, in case the file is just too big to paste into a text box. So I added the ability to upload a file and replace text server-side. You know, just in case the file is just too big to paste into the text box. I set the file size limit to 2 MB. If you go over that, you just get to wait until it passes 2 MB, then nothing happens.

Anyone have any ideas that would make the page any cooler?
