Text Extractor

Extract emails from text, then optionally pull out phone numbers, numbers, hashtags, @mentions, and dates from the same input. Each result type gets its own list that you can dedupe, sort, copy, or download.

How to use the Text Extractor

  1. Paste text, type into the box, or upload a text file.
  2. Choose which kinds of data you want to extract: emails, phone numbers, numbers, hashtags, @mentions, and dates.
  3. Turn on options such as Remove duplicates or Sort for cleaner output.
  4. Copy or download the list for each selected data type.

How it works

Each data type uses its own pattern and validation rules. Emails are matched from standard address shapes, hashtags and @mentions are read as social-style tokens, and dates are checked against ISO forms and common written date patterns. Results are grouped by type so email addresses do not mix with dates or phone numbers.

After extraction, optional dedupe removes repeated values, sort orders each list, and the count shows how many values were found. If you need internet-specific extractors, there are separate tools for URLs and IP addresses.

Examples

Limitations

  • Phone number and date extraction are pattern-based, so ambiguous text can still need a quick manual check.
  • The tool reads plain text only. It does not open attachments or follow links.
  • Very unusual local email formats may be skipped if they do not match common address rules.
  • Inputs up to 10 MB are supported.

Frequently asked questions

Can I extract only email addresses?

Yes. Tick emails and leave the other data types off if you only want a clean email list.

Does it remove duplicates automatically?

You can choose. Leave dedupe on for a unique list, or turn it off if you want to see repeated values as separate matches.

Can this pull URLs or IP addresses too?

Use the dedicated tools for those. URL Extractor is better for links, and IP Address Extractor is better for IPv4 and IPv6.
