Examples

1. Cleaning Database Variable Names

Data Analyst
Background
A database export contains column names like 'user_id', 'order_id', and 'status_id'.
Problem
The '_id' suffix is redundant for the current report and needs to be removed from all entries.
How to Use
Paste the list of column names, select 'Custom Suffix', and enter '_id'.
Example Config
removeType: custom, customSuffix: _id
Outcome
The list is converted to 'user', 'order', and 'status' instantly.

2. Standardizing Word Lists

Content Editor
Background
A list of keywords includes various forms like 'running', 'jumping', and 'walking'.
Problem
Need to extract the base root of these words by removing the '-ing' suffix.
How to Use
Paste the words, select 'Common Suffixes', and process the text.
Example Config
removeType: common
Outcome
The list is reduced to the base forms 'run', 'jump', and 'walk'.
