extract email address

Many pages mix contact details together. You may have emails, web addresses, and phone numbers all in one block.

The extractor can help separate that mess into something useful.

What can be extracted?

• Telephone numbers
• Mobile numbers
• URLs and web addresses
• Email addresses too, if they are present

How to extract phone numbers from text

1. Copy the text that contains the numbers.
2. Paste it into the extractor.
3. Review the result list.
4. Copy the cleaned output.

This works well for notes, copied pages, directories, and shared documents.

How to extract URLs from text

The same process works for URLs.

1. Copy the text or page source.
2. Paste it into the tool.
3. Let the extractor find the web addresses.
4. Copy the final list.

When this is especially useful

• You copied a long web page.
• You want all links from a page.
• You need all phone numbers from a client list.
• You want to save URLs in a text file or sheet.

A note about phone number duplicates

People read phone numbers in a flexible way. Computers do not.

For example, spaces or brackets can make the same number look different.

That means some duplicates may still need a quick manual review.

Sorting and filtering can help there.

Can I extract emails from a website?

Yes. After extracting URLs, you can narrow the result down to one site when needed.

See Filter Email and URL Results by Company, Family Name or Website for that.

Can I save the results elsewhere?

Yes. You can move the cleaned list into:

• Excel or CSV
• a database
• a text file
• iMessage on a Mac for phone lists

See Export Extracted Emails to Excel, CSV, a Database or a Text File for the export ideas.

One simple trick

If you copied a whole web page and want both links and emails, run one extraction pass first.

Then copy the results you need into separate files or sheets.
