Duplicate line removal fundamentals

Duplicate line removers clean text by identifying and eliminating repeated lines. These tools help you process data exports, log files, and text documents faster. The process compares each line against others and keeps only unique entries.

Line comparison works by reading text line by line. The tool checks each line against previously seen lines. When a match appears, the duplicate gets removed. The first occurrence stays in the result. This preserves the original order while removing redundancy.

Case sensitivity matters. With case sensitive mode enabled, "Apple" and "apple" count as different lines. Disable it to treat them as the same. Whitespace trimming removes leading and trailing spaces before comparison. This ensures " Apple " matches "Apple" when trimming is active.

Empty line handling affects results. When enabled, blank lines get skipped during processing. This keeps your output clean and focused on content lines. Disable it if empty lines carry meaning in your text.
