Example my list will be [“12.345”,Test\_1,Test\_2,“45.456”,Test\_3,Test\_4,Test\_5,“67.789”]

Now I want remove all numbers.

expected list: [Test\_1,Test\_2,Test\_3,Test\_4,Test\_5]

The list which we are getting with number ( fractio number) dynamic index.

I tried the below way nothing is working.

put [“12.345”,Test\_1,Test\_2,“45.456”,Test\_3,Test\_4,Test\_5,“67.789”] into notes  
delete each item of notes which is Number  
log notes

put [“12.345”,Test\_1,Test\_2,“45.456”,Test\_3,Test\_4,Test\_5,“67.789”] into notes  
delete each item of notes which is [“1”,“2”,“3”, “4”,“.”]  
log notes

put [“12.345”,Test\_1,Test\_2,“45.456”,Test\_3,Test\_4,Test\_5,“67.789”] into notes  
delete [“1”,“2”,“3”,“4”,“.”] from notes  
log notes

Is there any alternate method?

Your first attempt was _very very_ close to being correct, but you were missing the word “a”! As written:

```auto
delete each item of notes which is Number

```

the `is` operator compares each item of the list to see if it _is_ (is equal to) the variable `Number`. Instead, you need to use the `is a` operator to check whether each item of the list _is a number_:

```auto
delete each item of notes which is a Number

```

Hello Sense TalkDoug,

Do you have any idea how to remove the words based on specified letter?  
Example:  
put [“2023-05-31T23:59:59Z”,“2021-12-31T23:59:59Z”,“2021-12-31T23:59:59Z”,“2017-12-31T23:59:59Z”,“2017-12-31T23:59:59Z”,“2017-12-31T23:59:59Z”,“2017-12-31T23:59:59Z”,“2017-12-31T23:59:59Z”,“2017-12-31T23:59:59Z”,“2017-12-31T23:59:59Z”] into TestDta  
Here I need to remove Txx:xx:xxZ from all date in the list and log only the date which is greater than or equal to today

Something like this will probably do what you’re looking for:

```auto
put ["2023-05-31T23:59:59Z","2021-12-31T23:59:59Z","2021-12-31T23:59:59Z","2017-12-31T23:59:59Z","2017-12-31T23:59:59Z","2017-12-31T23:59:59Z","2017-12-31T23:59:59Z","2017-12-31T23:59:59Z","2027-12-31T23:59:59Z","2017-12-31T23:59:59Z"] into TestData

delete <"T", chars, "Z"> from each item of TestData
put TestData

put each item of TestData where date(each) is later than today

```
