Line break removal follows simple rules. The tool scans text for line break characters. It identifies single breaks and double breaks. Single breaks separate lines within paragraphs. Double breaks separate paragraphs. You choose whether to remove single breaks, preserve double breaks, or remove everything.

How line break removal works

The tool analyzes your text character by character. It identifies line break sequences including newline characters, carriage returns, and combinations. These sequences mark where text wraps to new lines.

Processing follows your selected options. If you choose to remove all breaks, every line break sequence is removed or replaced. If you preserve paragraphs, single breaks are removed but double breaks remain. This keeps paragraph structure while cleaning line breaks within paragraphs.

Replacement happens before final output. The tool replaces line break sequences with your chosen character. Spaces create readable output. Commas create list-like formatting. Empty strings create compact text. The replacement character appears exactly where line breaks existed.

Statistics track the transformation. Original line count shows how many lines your input contained. Processed line count shows how many lines remain after processing. Breaks removed shows how many line break sequences were found and processed. Character and word counts help you verify content preservation.
