📊 Statistics

The tool provides detailed processing statistics:

• Total Lines: Total number of lines in input text
• Unique Lines: Number of lines retained after deduplication
• Duplicate Lines: Number of duplicate lines detected
• Removed Lines: Number of lines actually removed

These statistics help you understand the duplication situation and processing effectiveness.

💡 Usage Tips

1. Batch Processing

For large amounts of data, it's recommended to:

• Test configuration options with small samples first
• Process complete data after confirming the effect
• Use statistics to verify processing results

2. Combine Options

Different option combinations suit different scenarios:

• Strict deduplication: Enable all options
• Loose deduplication: Disable case sensitivity, enable trim whitespace
• Preserve format: Disable trim whitespace option

3. Multi-round Processing

Use swap function for multi-round processing:

1. First round: Basic deduplication
2. Swap input/output
3. Second round: Adjust options for fine processing

4. Data Validation

After processing, it's recommended to:

• Check if statistics meet expectations
• Spot-check a few lines to confirm correct processing
• Backup important data

⚠️ Important Notes

Performance Considerations

• Large files (>10MB) may process slowly
• Recommend batch processing for very large datasets
• Browser memory limits may affect processing capability

Data Security

• All processing is completed locally in the browser
• No data is uploaded to servers
• Data is not saved after processing completion

Format Limitations

• Only supports plain text format
• Does not support rich text or special formats
• Line breaks are normalized during processing

Encoding Support

• Supports UTF-8 encoding
• Supports multilingual text including Chinese, English, etc.
• Special characters are handled correctly

🚀 Quick Start

1. Input Text: Paste or type text to process in the input box
2. Configure Options: Adjust deduplication options as needed
3. View Results: See processing results and statistics in real-time
4. Copy or Download: Use toolbar buttons to save results

🔧 Advanced Usage

Regular Expression Preprocessing

While the tool itself doesn't support regular expressions, you can:

1. Use other tools for regex preprocessing
2. Input results into this tool for deduplication
3. Implement complex text cleaning workflows

Integration with Other Tools

This tool can be used with other text processing tools:

• First use text replacement tools to standardize format
• Then use this tool to remove duplicate lines
• Finally use sorting tools to organize order

Automated Processing

For repetitive tasks:

1. Record optimal option configurations
2. Establish standard processing workflows
3. Use example function to start quickly
