Why this tool exists
Extraction Helpers keeps regex-heavy matchers server-side so you can pull URLs, numbers, hashtags, mentions, and emails from any transcript or campaign digest without writing scripts.
Campaign recaps
Collect hashtags, mentions, or vanity URLs from launch notes before you push social recaps.
Link audits
Scan docs or transcripts for HTTP/WWW links, then dedupe the list for redirect reviews.
Support digests
Pull case IDs, ticket numbers, and customer emails out of large transcripts in one pass.
Quick start
Paste noisy content, pick the matchers you need, dedupe if required, and copy structured results—all without touching your terminal.
- Open Extraction Helpers, paste the payload you want to scan, and keep the default matchers enabled to see everything at once.
- Toggle matchers like URLs, numbers, hashtags, mentions, or emails. Enable “Unique matches only” when you need deduped lists.
- Run the extractor to populate the Matches panel, then copy individual entries or full lists for follow-up work.
Supported inputs
- Accepts multi-line notes, CSV exports, and transcripts—everything is parsed server-side for consistent regex coverage.
- Emoji and multi-byte text are supported; we never truncate whitespace or punctuation before scanning.
- Large payloads (hundreds of KB) are fine because we do not rely on browser regex implementations.
Mode 01
Matcher catalog
Each matcher is tuned for common content audits—mix and match to build your own extraction recipe.
- URLs: Captures `https://`, `http://`, and bare `www.` links for redirect audits.
- Emails: Strict email regex catches common aliases plus subdomains used by marketing tools.
- Numbers: Pulls integers and decimal values for KPI digests or ticket IDs (thousands separators ignore decimals).
- Hashtags: Matches words prefixed with `#`, keeping unicode characters intact for social recaps.
- Mentions: Grabs `@handles` so you can follow up with community advocates or influencers.
Mode 02
Settings & presets
Control match selection, dedupe behavior, and curated samples for faster debugging.
- The matcher list mirrors the cards on the tool—select/unselect each via the Utilities grid or tap “Select all” to re-enable everything.
- “Unique matches only” removes duplicates while preserving the order of first appearance so you can compare against source text.
- Mode selection is resilient: if you uncheck every option we automatically keep the last matcher selected to avoid empty submissions.
Outputs & copying
Server-side parsing streams each matcher into copy-ready cards with counts, empty states, and action buttons.
- Each matcher renders a dedicated card with match counts, contextual helper text, and copy buttons.
- Use “Copy list” to grab newline-delimited results or copy individual entries when you only need a single value.
- Empty states explain when no matches are found so you can pivot inputs or toggle different matchers.
Field notes
Keep extractions predictable with these small habits.
- Load the campaign sample presets whenever you want to preview how hashtags, mentions, and numbers behave together.
- Enable unique mode before copying URL audits to avoid reporting duplicate links from the same paragraph.
- Pair Extraction Helpers with Encoding + Escape Lab when you need to sanitize the matches before embedding them in JSON responses.
- Use the matches counter beside the submit buttons to estimate effort before exporting results to spreadsheets.
