Frequently asked questions
Does a decimal point stay after the digits are removed?
Yes. The full stop in 3.5 is punctuation, so it stays and the text is left with a single full stop. Run the Remove Punctuation tool afterwards to clear it.
Does it remove numbers written in other scripts?
Yes. Digits from other scripts, such as Arabic-Indic digits, are digit characters too, so they are removed.
