How to clean text and organize lines

Whitespace clean-up

"Trim each line" removes spaces from both ends of every line. "Remove trailing whitespace only" removes spaces from the end while keeping indentation at the start, which matters for code, nested lists, and Markdown.

Convert tabs to spaces when text needs consistent alignment, and collapse multiple spaces when pasted content has awkward gaps between words.

Lines, accents, and replacement

Empty-line removal drops blank lines after trimming rules have run. Duplicate-line removal keeps the first exact occurrence and removes later repeats.

Remove accents when you need plain Latin text for search keys, slugs, or legacy systems. Find and replace works with literal text by default, and can switch to regex when you need a pattern.

Sorting and shuffling

A-Z and Z-A use locale-aware text sorting. Numeric sorting looks for the first number in each line, which is helpful for lists such as item 2, item 10, and item 20. Random shuffling is useful for quick sampling or mixing a list.

How to use it well

  • Paste text, or drop a text file, into the input box.
  • Turn on one or two options first, then add more if the result still needs work.
  • Use the line counts to check whether empty or duplicate lines were removed as expected.
  • Review regex replacements carefully before copying the final result.
  • Choose Copy to copy the cleaned result.

Content handling

The output changes live as options are selected. Keep the original nearby until you have checked that the combined clean-up steps did exactly what you intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the two whitespace options?

"Trim each line" removes whitespace from both ends. "Remove trailing whitespace only" removes it only from the end, preserving leading indentation, which matters for code or nested lists.

In what order are the options applied?

Find and replace runs first, then accents are removed, tabs convert to spaces, whitespace is trimmed or collapsed, empty and duplicate lines are removed, and sorting or shuffling runs last.

Are duplicate lines case-sensitive?

Yes. Duplicate removal compares exact lines after the selected clean-up steps have run, so Apple and apple are treated as different lines unless another option changes them first.

What does numeric sorting look at?

It uses the first number found in each line. Lines without a number are placed after numbered lines, then sorted alphabetically among themselves.

What happens if my regex is invalid?

The replacement step is skipped and the rest of the clean-up still runs, so you can fix the pattern without losing the input.

Can I keep indentation but remove messy spaces?

Yes. Use "Remove trailing whitespace only" instead of "Trim each line" when leading spaces are meaningful.
