# Inspect and remove text

> Inspect exact text matches before editing a file.

Use Arka to inspect exact text matches before editing a file:

```bash theme={null}
arka text inspect README.md "old phrase"
arka text remove README.md "old phrase" --yes
arka text remove README.md "old phrase" --all --yes
```

Removal creates a `.bak` backup by default. Without `--yes`, Arka only previews
the match count and makes no changes. Natural language requests such as
“inspect the text `old phrase` in README.md” are routed when the file and text
are quoted clearly.
