About Remove Numbers
Extract Words Only
The Remove Numbers tool is designed to strip every numeric digit (0-9) from your text string. This is particularly useful when processing mixed data where you want to isolate the alphabetic content. For example, if you have a list of addresses like "123 Maple St" and "456 Oak Rd", using this tool would leave you with " Maple St" and " Oak Rd".
Data Cleaning Scenarios
Data analysts often use this to clean up datasets before running Natural Language Processing (NLP) models. Numbers can confuse sentiment analysis algorithms or keyword frequency counters if they are not relevant to the topic (e.g., page numbers, timestamps, or IDs).
What happens to symbols?
This tool strictly removes digits. Punctuation (!, ?, .) and special text characters remain untouched. If you strictly need letters only, consider using the "Remove Non-Letters" tool instead.
