Frequently Asked Questions

Is the original line order preserved?

Yes by default - the first occurrence of each line wins and later duplicates are dropped, leaving the rest of the list in its original order. Tick "Sort after dedup" if you want an A→Z order instead.

How are leading and trailing spaces handled?

With "Trim whitespace" enabled (default), " hello" and "hello " count as the same line. Disable trimming if your data is whitespace-significant - for example, indented config or YAML.

Does case-insensitive matching work for non-ASCII letters?

Yes. Comparison uses JavaScript's String.toLowerCase, which handles most Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Cherokee letters. Edge cases like Turkish dotted/dotless I follow JavaScript's default Unicode rules, not locale-aware rules.

What's the practical input limit?

The whole input is held in memory as a Set of strings, so a few hundred thousand lines is comfortable on a modern laptop. Past a million lines you may notice the browser tab slow down - at that point a streaming command-line tool is faster.
