Question 1

What does 'Remove duplicate lines' do?

Accepted Answer

This option removes any lines that appear more than once in your text, keeping only the first occurrence of each unique line. This is useful for removing redundant information or cleaning up lists.

Question 2

What does 'Trim whitespace' do?

Accepted Answer

This option removes any leading or trailing spaces, tabs, or other whitespace characters from each line of text. It helps create cleaner, more consistent formatting without affecting the content itself.

Question 3

What does 'Remove special characters' do?

Accepted Answer

This option removes all special characters from your text, keeping only letters, numbers, spaces, and basic punctuation (periods, commas, semicolons, colons, exclamation marks, question marks, parentheses, and hyphens). This is useful for cleaning text that will be used in contexts where special characters might cause issues.

Question 4

Can I combine multiple cleaning options?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can select any combination of cleaning options to apply to your text. The options will be applied in a specific order designed to produce the best results. For example, trimming whitespace is applied before removing empty lines to ensure that lines containing only spaces are properly identified as empty.
