Tool usage guide
The Remove a Prefix from Words tool allows you to instantly strip specific prefixes from every word in your text, streamlining data cleaning and formatting tasks.
Background
A log file contains hundreds of entries prefixed with 'err_' or 'warn_'.
Problem
The prefixes make the log entries difficult to read and categorize.
How to use
Paste the log text, select 'Common Prefixes', and run the tool.
removeType: commonOutcome
All 'err_' and 'warn_' prefixes are removed, leaving clean, readable log entries.
Background
An inventory list uses codes like 'SKU123', 'SKU456', and 'SKU789'.
Problem
The 'SKU' prefix is redundant for the internal database migration.
How to use
Select 'Custom Prefix', enter 'SKU', and process the list.
removeType: custom, customPrefix: SKUOutcome
Yes, select 'Custom Prefix' from the Remove Type menu and enter your specific string in the Custom Prefix field.
Yes, you can enable the 'Case Sensitive' checkbox to ensure only prefixes matching your exact casing are removed.
The tool processes one prefix type at a time, but you can run the output through the tool again if multiple different prefixes need to be removed.
The tool will ignore words that do not start with the specified prefix and leave them unchanged.
You can process large blocks of text, though extremely long documents may perform better if processed in sections.
The list is converted to simple numeric IDs (123, 456, 789) ready for import.
