Clean up email lists, keyword lists, log files or CSV columns. The first occurrence of each line is kept, so the original order is preserved.

How to use the Remove Duplicate Lines

  1. 1 Paste your list, one item per line.
  2. 2 Choose whether "Apple" and "apple" count as duplicates, and whether to trim spaces.
  3. 3 Copy the de-duplicated list; the stats show how many lines were removed.

Tips

  • Turn on trim whitespace so lines that differ only by trailing spaces are treated as duplicates.
  • Turn off case sensitive for emails and keywords, where capitalisation is not meaningful.
  • Need the list sorted as well? Use the Text Sorter with "remove duplicates" enabled.
