Is there any way to mass replace text?

I made a new group and I am trying to mass replace all text label instances of the old group name with new group name in the game.

Ctrl+Shift+H is your best bet.

You can try running this in the command bar:

local NEW_GROUP_NAME = "Group"
local OLD_GROUP_NAME = "OldGroup"

for _, label in next, game.StarterGui:GetDescendants() do
    if label:IsA("TextLabel") or label:IsA("TextButton") then
        if label.Text == OLD_GROUP_NAME then
            label.Text = NEW_GROUP_NAME
        end
    end
end

Of course, you’d need to change OLD_GROUP_NAME and NEW_GROUP_NAME accordingly to the previous group’s name and the new group’s name respectively. Be aware that is case-sensitive

copy and paste this in the command bar

for _, object in pairs(game.StarterGui:GetDescendants()) do
  if object:IsA("TextLabel") or object:IsA("TextButton") or object:IsA("TextBox") then
    object.Text = object.Text:gsub("OLD GROUP NAME", "NEW GROUP NAME")
  end
  if object:IsA("TextBox") then
    object.PlaceholderText = object.PlaceholderText:gsub("OLD GROUP NAME", "NEW GROUP NAME")
  end
end

if you have any guis in other areas do the same but instead of game.StarterGui put the path to the area where you store it
