# Säännöllisten lausekkeiden käyttäminen tekstihauissa

Regular expressions are special patterns used to find and manipulate text, helping you locate specific information within texts.

Searching with regular expressions is different from searching with wildcards. LibreOffice Writer only supports searching with regular expressions.

You can use regular expressions when you find and replace text in a document. For example, "s.n" finds "sun" and "son".

1. Valitse Muokkaa - Etsi ja korvaa.

3. Merkitse Säännölliset lausekkeet -valintaruutu.

4. In the Find box, type the search term and the regular expression(s) that you want to use in your search.

5. Napsauta joko Etsi seuraava tai Etsi kaikki.
