Just a quick note of caution, It's a bad idea to match on multiple
occurrences of single characters (like %). Off the top of my head, I can
think of a half-dozen opt-in newsletters which I get that offer
discounts ( "10% discount", " saving of 17%",  "get 20% off" etc.) and
would easily contain a dozen "%" characters.
If you are going to match, try doing it with patterns, like (off the top
of my head, and untested!)

/(?:£\$}\s?\d+(?:[\.,]\d+)?.{1,20}\d.{1,10}%/

might attempt to match:

"$250,000 loan at 6.35%"
"£ 10000 for you just 6%!"
