Text and Strings
Choose a preset or custom expression, then inspect the values and their source lines.

Text and patterns stay in this browser; they are not uploaded.
100,000 UTF-16 input units · 2,000 pattern units · 10,000 candidates · 2-second timeout. Limits reject the entire result.

Exports include every result. TXT uses LF between values. CSV prefixes formula-like cells with an apostrophe; JSON keeps exact values and multiline boundaries.
A pattern extractor helps when a support ticket mixes contacts with links, or a log buries addresses among messages. Instead of copying each match by hand, scan one type at a time and keep the original text available for checking.
The pattern extractor keeps your mixed input while you switch from email addresses to URLs, IP addresses or numbers. Use a custom expression for an order identifier. Each mode creates its own list, so digits inside a URL do not get mixed with your address results.
Repeated values collapse into one row with their first line number and occurrence count. Turning deduplication off restores every occurrence in source order. Case, URL spelling and IPv6 notation are preserved, so the list stays traceable to the text you supplied.
The opening mode extracts emails. Changing modes keeps the text and invalidates the previous result immediately. Example and Clear first show a replacement preview with character counts; applying resets the extraction options, and Undo restores the previous input and result.
In Custom mode, enter ORD-(\d+) and set the group to 1 to extract only the order number. Group 0 returns the whole match; named groups work too. Flags i, m, s and u are optional. All occurrences are searched automatically.
Automatic mode waits 350 ms after an edit. Turn it off to use Extract or Ctrl/Cmd+Enter. Copy and download stay disabled until the current run finishes. The first 50 rows are a preview; Show more expands the list without changing the exported data.
Use the email preset for common ASCII addresses, including plus tags. The URL preset finds HTTP(S) links, retains queries and fragments, and removes surrounding sentence punctuation. Balanced parentheses survive, which matters for documentation links containing names such as Topic_(part).
The IP mode recognizes IPv4 and IPv6, rejecting an IPv4 candidate whose octet exceeds 255. Number mode returns strings such as -12.50, .75 and 6.02e23. Large integers keep every original digit because extraction never converts the values into floating-point numbers.
Custom JavaScript patterns can return a complete match, a numbered capture or a named capture. Rows report the starting line of the full match, even for captures spanning multiple lines. TXT gives a simple list; CSV and JSON can include the source line and occurrence count.
Choose URLs and paste the text. Links must begin with http:// or https://. A final period or unmatched closing bracket is removed, while balanced parentheses remain. Bare domains, www-only links and mailto addresses are not included by this preset.
Copy its text into the input and choose Emails. Common ASCII addresses become result rows, with first source lines enabled by default. This extracts matching substrings, not entire matching lines, and does not tell you whether a mailbox accepts messages.
Deduplication starts enabled. The first identical value keeps its position and line number, and its count increases. A@b.co and a@b.co stay separate. Disable the option to inspect every occurrence and its own line; changing it requires a fresh result before export.
Run one mode at a time. Your source stays in place while you switch presets; each run replaces the result list. Use a custom alternation when you intentionally want several patterns in one list, then check the matches before exporting.
Paste up to 100,000 UTF-16 units; there is no file upload. The 10,000-match ceiling applies before deduplication, so a single value repeated too often still exceeds it. Split large logs into smaller sections when a limit or the 2-second time budget is reached.
Did a step behave unexpectedly?
Use the pattern extractor on a small sample first, compare the source lines, then save the complete list in the format your next task needs.
