Hi there,
I need to find all segments containing numbers, both segments containing only numbers but also segments containing both numbers and words. I have tried the advanced filters, but without sucess (only numbers is easy), I guess my brain is not logically enough.
Anyone? Much appriciated!
Best, Knut
Segments containing a number, but not only a number?
The easiest solution is to use the display filer and enter \d
This forces Studio to show all segments with at least one digit. And at least one digit in a segment is a segment with a number.

Thank you, Jerzy! It worked like a charm. Where do I get those magic spells? :-) Is there a list?
I'm never satisfied: Is it possible to find all numbers with . or , in it? Like either 1.0 or 1,1? The source is in English but it contains both English decimal separator system and target system in source (so a lot of confusion, especially because some of it is machine translated).
There is no list, you can learn regex from this website for example: https://www.regular-expressions.info/
In general:
\d is a digit
\w is a so called word character (includes letters and digits and other signs to build words)
\s is a space character
. matches any character
To find a dot you need to "escape" it, means \.
To find a date: \d\d\.\d\d\.\d\d\d\d => finds 15.01.2021 \d\d\\d\d-\d\d-\d\d finds 2021-01-15
and so on.
If you speak German, there are two webinars left on Regex: http://seminare.bdue.de/4888
The basics have already been covered, but are recorded, so I think you could get the recordings too.

For numbers with , enter \d,\d
If you want to catch all with , and . enter \d[,.]\d

Ecellent, thanks a lot, Jerzy! This opens up a whole new world for me. I new these things existed and I have planned in the back of my head to get a grip on what's behind the door called "Regex", but never got around to it. I will now. My German is bad, but it depends on the video.
Again, thanks a million!
Best regards,
Knut
Take a look at this quick googling: www.google.com/search

I like also this cheat sheet about regex. It covers only the .NET flavor, the one used by Trados Studio.
