Hello everyone,

Is the a way to delete/remove al non-numeric characters from a document? Leaving just the numbers that apper in a document?

Thanks in advanced,

You can do a wildcard find and replace: find [!0-9] and replace with nothing.

What do you mean by wildcard? Do I have to enter [!0-9] in the "Find what" and in the "Replace with" leave it blank?

Thanks again for the help

Ctrl+H for Find and Replace, click More, tick Use wildcards, in Find what: [!0-9] , leave Replace blank.

Click Replace All

Press crtl-f or ctrl-h and there you will find the more button that will extend down with more options. And there you can find the wildcard option.

Post solved. Thank you for the help
