About Remove Duplicate Lines

Mailing lists with repeated addresses, keyword lists, URL exports, inventory codes and log extracts often contain the same line many times. Paste the list or open a text file, and every duplicate is removed as you type, keeping the first occurrence in its original position. Choose to ignore differences in upper and lower case or stray spaces, keep blank lines as separators, or sort the result alphabetically. The counter shows how many duplicates were removed. Large lists of hundreds of thousands of lines work fine.

  2. 02

    Ignore case or spaces, keep blank lines, or sort the result.

Questions

Which copy of a duplicate is kept?

The first one, in its original position. Later copies are removed.

Can it treat "Apple" and "apple" as the same?

Yes. Tick Ignore upper and lower case. The first spelling found is kept.

Does it work on CSV files?

Yes, line by line: whole rows that are identical are removed. It doesn't compare individual columns.

Is my list uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser.
