About
Line tools are ideal for cleaning up name lists, keyword lists, email lists or any line-based text. They combine the operations you reach for most: alphabetical sorting, removing duplicates and stripping blank lines.
You can apply several options at once: trim first, remove duplicates, then sort A-Z. Everything happens on your device; your list is never uploaded.
How to use
- Paste your list, one item per line.
- Choose a sort order (original, A-Z, Z-A or shuffle).
- Optionally enable remove duplicates, remove empty and trim; then copy the result.
Which option for which job?
- Alphabetical sort (A→Z)
- Tidy up lists of names, cities or keywords into order.
- Remove duplicates
- Strips repeated rows from email or record lists; the first copy is kept.
- Remove empty lines
- Deletes blank lines left behind after copy-pasting, in one click.
- Shuffle
- Randomizes line order for draws, random ordering or shuffling a question pool.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I remove duplicate lines?
- Enable the 'Remove duplicates' option; only the first occurrence of each identical line is kept.
- Can I combine multiple operations?
- Yes. Trimming, removing empty lines, removing duplicates and sorting are all applied together.
