FAQ

Can I keep the original order of my lines?

Yes, simply enable the 'Preserve Original Order' checkbox to ensure your unique lines remain in their initial sequence.

Does the tool distinguish between uppercase and lowercase?

By default, the tool is case-sensitive, but you can select 'Case Insensitive' in the removal type settings to treat 'Text' and 'text' as the same.

Will this remove empty lines?

You can choose to keep single empty lines or remove all duplicates, including empty ones, depending on your specific needs.

Can I remove duplicates that have extra spaces?

Yes, use the 'Trim Whitespace' option or the 'Ignore Leading/Trailing Whitespace' removal type to clean up lines before comparison.

Is there a limit to how much text I can process?

The tool is designed to handle large blocks of text efficiently, though extremely large files may perform better when processed in smaller chunks.
