Remove Duplicate Lines
Remove duplicate lines from text.
Duplicate lines will be removed while keeping the first occurrence.
How to use Remove Duplicate Lines
- Paste the list with one item on each line.
- Choose Remove duplicates.
- Copy the cleaned list and check that the first occurrence of each item remains.
Practical example
A list containing apple, pear and apple on separate lines becomes apple and pear, in that order.
What to check before using the result
Matching is based on each line, not on the meaning of its text. Case and surrounding spaces can make otherwise similar items different. Use Text Cleaner first if you want to trim whitespace. Keep a backup when duplicates represent separate records.
