Why use this tool?
Regex (Regular Expressions) for phone numbers can be complex due to the variety of global formats. This tool uses a robust pattern to catch the most common formats while ignoring simple 4-digit years or prices. After extracting the numbers, you might want to format them using the Sort Text tool or combine this data with results from the Email Extractor and URL Extractor for a complete contact scrape.
