Tool usage guide
Filter Text Sentences is a powerful utility designed to help you quickly extract, isolate, and organize specific sentences from large blocks of text based on custom patterns, regex, or structural criteria.
Background
I have a long transcript of a customer support call and need to identify every question the customer asked.
Problem
Manually scanning a multi-page transcript for questions is inefficient.
How to use
Paste the transcript, select 'Is a Question' as the filter type, and set the output format to 'Numbered List'.
Outcome
A clean, numbered list of every question asked during the call, ready for analysis.
Background
I have a project specification document and need to extract only the sentences that contain the word 'must'.
Problem
The document is too long to manually highlight all requirement sentences.
How to use
Paste the document text, select 'Contains Text' as the filter type, enter 'must' in the pattern field, and choose 'Bullet Points' for the output.
Outcome
A concise bulleted list of all mandatory requirements extracted from the document.
Yes, select the 'Regular Expression' filter type and enter your regex pattern in the Pattern field.
The tool uses standard sentence-ending punctuation defined in the 'Sentence Endings' field, which defaults to periods, exclamation marks, and question marks.
Yes, simply check the 'Remove Duplicates' box before processing your text.
You can output results as a paragraph, newline-separated, space-separated, numbered list, bullet points, or semicolon-separated.
By default, it is not, but you can enable the 'Case Sensitive' checkbox to ensure exact matching.
