    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does it preserve the original order of lines?

    Yes, the first occurrence of each line is kept in its original position. Only subsequent duplicates are removed, so the relative order of unique lines remains unchanged.

    Can I ignore case when removing duplicates?

    Yes, enable the "Case insensitive" option to treat lines like 'Apple' and 'apple' as duplicates. When this mode is active, the first occurrence is preserved regardless of capitalization.

    What happens with empty lines?

    You can choose to remove or keep empty lines using the "Remove empty lines" checkbox. When enabled, all blank lines are stripped from the output. When disabled, empty lines are treated like any other line and only true duplicates are removed.
