Remove Duplicate Lines

This tool efficiently processes text to eliminate duplicate lines, providing a clean and organized output. It is ideal for refining various text-based data.

What This Tool Does

The Remove Duplicate Lines tool identifies and removes identical lines within a given text input. It offers options for case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching and allows users to preserve the original order of lines or sort them alphabetically.

How It Works

Users input text containing duplicate lines. The tool then processes this input based on selected options:

Input Text: Provide the raw text that needs cleaning.
Case Sensitivity: Choose whether the tool should treat "Example" and "example" as the same or different lines.
Order Preservation: Decide if the output should maintain the original sequence of non-duplicate lines or arrange them alphabetically.

Once options are set, the tool quickly analyzes the text, removes all identified duplicate lines, and presents the cleaned output.
