How to use Extract Numbers from a String
- 1. Paste the text containing numbers. Enter a passage or block of text into the input pane wherever numeric values are mixed in among words, such as an invoice description or a report.
- 2. Choose whether to include decimals and signs. Turn on Include decimals and signs so values like '19.99' or '-42' are captured as complete numbers instead of being split at the decimal point or minus sign.
- 3. Copy the extracted numbers. Copy the list of numbers found, one per line, and use it wherever you need the numeric values pulled out separately from the surrounding text.
When to use Extract Numbers from a String
Extract Numbers from a String finds and lists every number embedded in a block of text. It is useful whenever numeric values are buried in sentences or descriptions and you need just the digits.
- Pulling prices out of a product description. A product listing mentions several prices inline, like '$19.99 or $24.99 for the bundle', and extracting the numbers with decimals gives a clean list of the actual values.
- Extracting quantities from an order note. A free-text order note like 'send 3 large and 5 medium' contains quantities you need as plain numbers before entering them into an inventory system.
- Pulling version numbers from a changelog. A changelog document mentions several version numbers embedded in prose, and extracting them gives a quick list of every version referenced.
- Isolating measurements from a recipe or spec sheet. A pasted recipe or product spec mixes measurements with descriptive text, and extracting just the numbers helps verify quantities before double-checking the units separately.

About the Extract Numbers from a String tool
Extract Numbers from a String is a free online tool that works entirely inside your web browser. Find and list all the numbers in a string. Because the processing happens on your own device, nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or stored anywhere.
This page is one of 159 String utilities on EditSafely. Each one does a single job well, and all of them follow the same rule: your input stays on your machine.
You can shape the output with the Include decimals and signs setting, and the result refreshes the moment you change it. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Because nothing leaves your device, the tool is suitable for sensitive content such as internal documents, credentials or customer data. It also responds instantly, since every keystroke is handled on your own machine rather than by a remote API.
