How the Character Remover works

In list mode you type every character to delete, for example aeiou or !@#$. The match is case insensitive unless you turn on case sensitivity. The presets use Unicode character classes, so removing letters or digits also works for accented text and non-Latin scripts.

The info line under the output reports how many characters were removed, which makes it easy to confirm that a clean up did what you expected.

When it is useful

  • •Stripping phone numbers down to digits by removing everything that is not a number.
  • •Removing emoji from a social media export before importing it into a spreadsheet.
  • •Creating puzzle text, such as a sentence with all vowels removed.
  • •Deleting stray symbols that came along when copying from a web page or PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep only digits?

Choose the option that removes all letters, then run the output through again with all punctuation removed. A faster route for most cases is to remove letters and punctuation, then use the Whitespace Remover to drop the spaces.

Does removing punctuation also remove symbols like the dollar sign?

Yes. The punctuation preset covers both punctuation and symbols, which includes currency signs, math signs and most decorative marks.

Will it handle emoji made of several characters?

The emoji preset removes pictographs along with the joiner and variation selectors that glue them into one image, so skin tone and family emoji disappear completely.
