What is Extract Lines Containing?

FAQ

What match modes are available?

Four modes: Contains (pattern anywhere in a line), Starts with (line must begin with pattern), Ends with (line must end with pattern), and Regex (full JavaScript regular expression).

Can I use regular expressions?

Yes. Switch the Match dropdown to 'Regex' and enter any valid JavaScript regex. For example, \d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4} to find lines with US phone numbers.

How does case sensitivity work?

By default matching is case-insensitive. Check 'Case-sensitive' to match exact casing.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. All line extraction happens in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
