How to extract numbers from text
Paste any text into the box above. This tool scans it live and pulls out every numeric substring it finds — whole numbers, decimals, and negative numbers — and lists them separately, ready to copy or download.
What counts as a number?
The extractor matches sequences of digits, optionally with a decimal point (like 3.14) and an optional leading minus sign (like -12). It does not merge numbers separated by other characters, so a phone number like "555-1234" is extracted as two separate numbers, 555 and 1234.
Example
From the text "Order #4521 shipped 3.5kg with a -12.99 discount" the tool extracts 4521, 3.5, and -12.99.
Common Use Cases
- Pulling prices, quantities, or measurements out of pasted invoices or receipts.
- Collecting IDs or reference numbers scattered through a document.
- Preparing a quick list of numeric values for a spreadsheet import.
FAQs
Does it handle negative numbers and decimals?
Yes — a minus sign directly before a number and a decimal point within a number are both recognized, so values like -45 and 3.14 are extracted correctly.
Does it remove duplicate numbers?
No — every occurrence is listed in the order it appears, including repeats, since duplicate values (like a repeated total) are often meaningful in the source text.
Can it extract numbers formatted with commas, like 1,000?
Thousands separators are treated as a break between numbers, so "1,000" is extracted as 1 and 000. Remove comma separators first if you need thousands to stay intact as a single number.
