I wonder if I can search segments with numeric mismatch only when both source and target include numbers, in order to avoid false positive errors like below:

source: 2  
target: two

Or, is it possible to run a QA check in the search result?  
I thought of creating a new project with the exported search result, but it will make source tracking very hard…

This search should help you:

Source: `2`  
Target: `-two -2`  
Search mode: simple  
PowerSearch: On  
Match Whole Word checkbox: On

A checklist entry should be created for each number in the same way.

Hello,

I tried this (just the other way around):  
Source: `two`  
Target: `-2`

But if I change the target to e.g. `-300` I get no hits although I have strings in my file (tab delimited txt) that contain `two` in the source and `2` in the target.

Any ideas?

Cheers
