## How-to
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Example Video](/blog/media/discord-tricks/sed-text-replacement.mov)
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you send a message using `sed` substitution format (`s/old text/new text`), Discord will execute it on the message you've last sent.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Caveats
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Regex is not supported
|
||
|
- Global substitution is not supported
