Frequently asked questions
The first occurrence of each line is kept, in its original position; later duplicates are removed.
Lines are compared exactly as typed, so "Apple" and "apple" are treated as different lines unless they match exactly.
Use the Text Sorter tool afterward if you also want the cleaned list in alphabetical or numerical order.
Because processing is instant, cleaning up a merged list of hundreds of lines takes a fraction of a second.
