Remove Duplicates from List User Manual

Introduction

The Remove Duplicates from List tool is a free and open-source online utility designed to help you eliminate duplicate entries from your list quickly and efficiently. This tool is perfect for cleaning up data, organizing information, or preparing lists for further processing.

How to Use

1. Enter Your List

   • In the text area labeled "Enter your list (one item per line or comma-separated)", input your list.
   • You can enter items one per line or separate them with commas.

2. Remove Duplicates

   • Click the "Remove Duplicates" button to process your list.
   • The tool will identify and remove any duplicate entries, keeping only unique items.

3. View Results

   • After processing, the list with duplicates removed will appear below.
   • Each unique item will be displayed on a separate line.

4. Copy Results

   • To copy the deduplicated list, click the "Copy Unique List" button.
   • This will copy the entire list of unique items to your clipboard.

5. Clear Fields

   • To start over, click the "Clear" button.
   • This will erase both your input list and the deduplicated results.

Tips

• The tool is case-sensitive, meaning "Apple" and "apple" will be treated as different items.
• Leading and trailing spaces are trimmed from each item, so "apple " and " apple" will be considered the same.
• Empty lines or entries are automatically removed from the final list.

Troubleshooting

• If you receive an error message, ensure that you've entered at least one item in the list.
• If the deduplicated list looks the same as your input, it's possible that there were no duplicates in your original list.

Use Cases

• Cleaning up mailing lists
• Removing duplicate entries from data sets
