Question 1

Which patterns can the extractor find?

Accepted Answer

Choose from curated presets that detect emails, phone numbers, URLs, IP addresses, hashtags, usernames, color codes, UUIDs, credit cards, and more common data types.

Each pattern is tuned with practical regular expressions so you can clean raw logs, survey responses, or customer data without writing code.

Question 2

Can I search for multiple pattern types in one run?

Accepted Answer

Select any preset from the dropdown to extract that pattern, then switch to another preset—the original text stays in place so you can pull several data sets in sequence.

Copy each result block into a spreadsheet or document to build a combined data table.

Question 3

Does the extractor support custom regular expressions?

Accepted Answer

The current version ships with a fixed library of battle-tested expressions to cover the most requested use cases.

We are tracking requests for custom regex support—use the feedback link in the toolbar to vote for that feature if you need it.

Question 4

How should I export the extracted values?

Accepted Answer

Results are displayed one item per line so you can copy them straight into Excel, Google Sheets, or a CSV editor.

Use the clipboard button to copy everything in a single click, or select only the rows you need before pasting.

Question 5

Does it work with big documents or log files?

Accepted Answer

The extractor is optimised for sizeable text snippets and can handle thousands of characters without trouble.

Very large files may slow down the browser; trim the input first or run multiple passes if you notice performance issues.

Question 6

Is my text uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Pattern matching is executed entirely in your browser, which keeps private customer information or credentials safe on your device.

Clear the textarea after you finish to remove any sensitive content from view.
