How Textkala Works

Textkala is a simple tool that helps you extract and filter parts of text without needing to write complex regex. It's built to be fast, clean, and helpful for everyday tasks like searching through logs, cleaning up notes, or pulling patterns from long text files.

1. Paste or Upload Your Text

You can either paste text directly into the main input box, or upload a .txt file. Once the content is loaded, you're ready to filter and extract.

2. Choose What You’re Looking For

Enter a word, prefix, suffix, or phrase into the search box. Then choose whether you want to search by word or by line.

3. Select a Match Mode

Textkala supports several smart match modes:

Starts With / Ends With / Contains – Basic matching
Exact – Matches only the full word or line
After / Before – Get the text before or after a match
Excluding – Remove the match from your results

Example: Using “after” to extract everything after a match

4. Customize Filters

Use the checkboxes to make your search case-sensitive or to hide duplicates. This helps clean up your results even more.

5. View, Copy, or Export

Your filtered results will appear in the output box. You can:

Copy the results to clipboard
Export as a .txt file
Export as a CSV

6. Explore Extra Features

Textkala also shows word frequency stats and readability score for the full input text. This is helpful for writers or editors looking to analyze structure or repetition.

That’s it. No login, no tracking, no nonsense. Just a fast, focused way to clean up and work with text. If you find it useful, feel free to share it.
