Regex to select everything a replace with a word

Question

I have lots of diffrent lines with numbers, symbols and words, i need them all replaced with a word of my choosing, i tried ^.(.) but it didnt work

I need them to become any word i put in replace with, so for example

Football 
Football
football

The regex would need to target everything inside the file, not just words, but symbols and numbers, any help is appreciated

So with multiline option set: `.*` replace with `Football`? I'm confused. — ctwheels, Dec 06 '17 at 17:17
Sounds like you need to learn more. your regex is not close. — Philip Brack, Dec 06 '17 at 17:17
Please see [Reference - What does this regex mean?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22937618/reference-what-does-this-regex-mean) — ctwheels, Dec 06 '17 at 17:19
So the regex should find exactly one match per file — the entire file? Or do you not want whitespace (spaces? newlines?) in the match? — L3viathan, Dec 06 '17 at 17:21
