Data extraction
Number Extractor
Pull numeric values out of prose while keeping control over locale, units, signs, filters, and order.
Tool overview
How separators and numeric-looking values are interpreted
Number Extractor identifies ordinary integers, decimals, signed values, percentages, common currency symbols or codes, grouping separators, and optional scientific or phone-like forms. Locale controls affect numeric interpretation for sorting and range filters without treating every value as financial data.
Pull measurements, prices, and numeric values
- Collect measurements from a report
- Extract prices and percentages for review
- Sort numeric values embedded in copied notes
- Capture phone-like forms as complete values instead of fragments
Interpret numbers with explicit locale rules
- Paste the text containing numeric values.
- Choose decimal and thousands-separator interpretation.
- Enable scientific or phone-like extraction when relevant.
- Set sign, unit, duplicate, numeric sort, range, and output controls.
- Review type counts before copying or downloading.
Separators, signs, units, ranges, and sorting
- Automatic separator detection treats a final non-three-digit group as a decimal fraction.
- Sign and unit controls affect output text, while range filters use the parsed numeric value.
- Scientific notation and phone-like patterns are opt-in to reduce accidental matches.
- Minimum and maximum limits are ordinary numeric filters, not financial rules.
Filter and order localized numbers
Revenue: $1,250.50; growth -12.5%; samples 6.02e23.
$1,250.50 -12.5% 6.02e23
Ambiguous separators and phone-like values
- A single comma or period followed by three digits is treated as grouping in automatic mode.
- Phone-like detection is heuristic and does not validate countries or callable numbers.
- Currency symbols and codes label a value but do not convert currencies.
- Ambiguous locale formats should use explicit decimal and thousands settings.

Questions
Number Extractor FAQ
Does the tool assume every number is money?
No. Currency-like values are one reported kind; ordinary numbers, percentages, and scientific notation remain distinct.
Can it recognize comma decimals?
Yes. Choose comma as the decimal separator, or use automatic interpretation for mixed pasted text.
