Data Tools
Extract Structured Data from Unstructured Text
Every day, millions of people receive emails, documents, and messages that contain valuable data buried inside messy paragraphs. A client sends you a long email with three phone numbers scattered across it. A spreadsheet has duplicate rows and inconsistent formatting. A web page has dozens of links you need to collect into a clean list. Manually hunting for this information is tedious and error-prone - that's why we built these tools.
WorkSavvyTools' Data Tools are purpose-built extractors and converters that pull specific types of data from any text you paste. Each tool uses pattern matching to find exactly what you're looking for - email addresses, phone numbers, URLs, or raw numbers - and returns a clean, deduplicated list you can copy or download.
What Can You Extract?
Our data extraction tools cover the most common types of information people need to pull from text:
- Email addresses - The Email Extractor finds every valid email address in your text, removes duplicates, and returns a clean list. Perfect for building mailing lists from contact pages, emails, or documents.
- Phone numbers - The Phone Number Extractor recognises international formats, local formats with area codes, and continuous digit strings. It handles dashes, spaces, dots, and parentheses, so it catches numbers regardless of formatting.
- URLs and links - The Link Extractor pulls out every URL from a block of text, whether it starts with http://, https://, or www. Useful for auditing web pages, collecting resources, or extracting links from email newsletters.
- Numbers and amounts - The Number Extractor finds all numbers in text, including decimals, negatives, and currency amounts. Great for pulling financial data, measurements, or quantities from reports and invoices.
- CSV and spreadsheet data - The CSV Cleaner removes empty rows, trims whitespace, strips duplicate rows, and standardises your data. If you've ever pasted data from Excel or Google Sheets and it came out messy, this tool fixes it.
Convert Between Data Formats
Beyond extraction, our data tools also help you restructure information:
- Column to sentence - The Column → Sentence tool takes a vertical list (one item per line) and joins it into a single comma-separated sentence. This is perfect for turning spreadsheet columns into readable text for emails or documents.
- Sentence to column - Going the other way, the Sentence → Column tool splits an inline comma-separated list into a vertical column - ideal for pasting into spreadsheets or databases.
Who Uses These Tools?
Data extraction tools are used by recruiters collecting email addresses from LinkedIn pages, sales professionals pulling phone numbers from prospect lists, SEO specialists auditing links on web pages, accountants extracting numbers from invoices, and virtual assistants processing incoming data from multiple sources. They're also popular with students and researchers who need to collect structured data from unstructured documents.
Every tool works entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded to any server. Your data stays private. You can upload files (.txt, .csv, .md, .pdf, .docx) or paste text directly, and download results in multiple formats.
