Extracted Contacts

Gather phone numbers from unstructured text

Phone numbers end up buried in email signatures, contact pages, scraped listings and meeting notes. This tool searches the text you paste for number-like patterns and lists each one it finds, so you can move them into an address book or sheet without hunting through paragraphs. Processing is done in your browser when you press the button.

Extraction steps

Paste text into the input box. Paste takes the clipboard contents, Sample loads lines with US and UK style numbers, and Clear empties the box and counters.
Look at the Words badge to confirm the length of what you pasted.
Press the extract button.
The Extracted Contacts panel lists the numbers, and Phones Found shows the count. A copy icon beside each row copies that number.
Choose Export CSV to save extracted_data.csv, holding one number per line.

What patterns are matched

The search is built around a three-three-four digit layout, the common North American structure. It allows an optional country code of one to three digits (with or without a plus sign), optional parentheses around the first group, and a hyphen, dot or space between groups. Examples that match include 555-987-6543, (555) 123-4567, 555.123.4567 and +1 (555) 123-4567. Identical strings are listed once.

Common uses

Building a call list from a pasted directory or press release.
Checking a document for personal numbers that should be removed before sharing.
Collecting support lines from a set of web pages you copied.
Preparing numbers from a text dump for a spreadsheet import.

Accuracy caveats

Because matching is by shape, not by lookup, results need a quick review. Any run of ten digits, such as an order number or an ID, can be listed as a phone number. Numbers formatted in other national patterns, such as many UK, German or Indian layouts with different group sizes, may be missed or only partly captured, so the UK example in the sample does not come through cleanly. Numbers with extension text like ext. 204 will have that part left out. Numbers with no separators at all are matched when they are ten digits long. The tool does not validate that a number is dialable or assigned to anyone, and you should follow privacy and marketing rules when you use the list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it recognize international numbers?

Partly. It accepts an optional country code of one to three digits before a three-three-four digit number, so +1 (555) 123-4567 works. Numbers with other group sizes, common in the UK and elsewhere, may be missed or cut off.

Why did an order number appear in the list?

Matching is done by digit pattern only, so any ten digit sequence, or one with matching separators, looks like a phone number. Review the results and remove IDs, tracking codes and similar values that are not real phone numbers.

Are extensions such as ext. 204 included?

No. The pattern stops after the main number, so extension text and digits after it are not part of the result. You would need to add extensions manually from your source text.

What is in the exported CSV file?

Export CSV saves extracted_data.csv containing one number per line, exactly as listed in the results, with no header row. It opens in spreadsheet programs as a single column.

Are duplicate numbers removed?

Yes, identical strings are merged so each is shown once. The same number written differently, such as 555-123-4567 and (555) 123-4567, counts as two entries because the text is not identical.
