Comments

“Extracts” the numbers from any data that includes unit types or measurements.

Use this to grab only the numerical values from any input, ignoring any other text.

If multiple numbers are found, passed out as a List of values.

Similar to Match Text looking for number values, but doesn’t require dealing with regular expressions.
