Number Extractor

What counts as a number

Thousands separators, decimal points, a leading minus and a trailing percent sign are all kept together as one value, so 1,500, 0.75 and 12% each come back intact rather than as three fragments. A currency symbol immediately before the digits is kept with them, which is what makes the money filter work.

Why the total is only sometimes useful

Adding a column of pixel sizes, percentages and dollar amounts produces a number with no unit and no meaning. The total is shown because it is occasionally exactly what you want — a list of line-item prices, for instance — but treat it as a convenience, not a result. Read the context beside each value before you quote it.

Reading context instead of a bare list

Each match is shown inside the sentence it came from. That matters because a number without its unit is a liability: 12 could be dollars, inches or percent, and quoting the wrong one in a pin description is worse than quoting none. The context strip is the difference between a data point and a mistake.
