Good morning, everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible in OmegaT to exclude segments that only contain numbers, so that they do not appear in the Editor window.

Thank you.

If you refer to spreadsheet files, you might "copy-paste special-unformated" into a provisional spreadsheet. Allign the data of these raw files according to alphabetical order. The rows with numbers will appear high up. Then create a TMX memory only of the rows with numbers and put it into the auto-folder of the project (TMX in UTF-8 encoding).

Copy all original files into the source folder of the project; once in the project, you'll notice that the rows with numbers are already "translated". A good thing is to compile this stage, and to examine the Net Count calculation from the menu, in order to comply with many requests that number lines are fully exempted of calculation (OmegaT does not exclude lines with numbers only - and proceed with translating of the remaining parts, hitting always "go-to-the-next-untranslated-segment" (Ctr+U), otherwise the advantage is lost.

I am sure there are some more clever methods than this one, maybe in internal scripts, I can't say now.

The above method is also suitable for working with text files, not only with spreadsheets.
