About

Data hygiene is the foundation of reliable database management and marketing analytics. Raw text lists exported from legacy systems or scraped from the web often contain irregularities that break downstream processes. Invisible whitespace characters cause exact-match lookup failures in SQL databases or API calls. Duplicate entries skew statistical analysis and waste budget in pay-per-click campaigns. This tool executes strict sanitization protocols directly in the browser memory. It ensures that sensitive customer data or proprietary key lists never transmit over the network. The logic handles massive arrays efficiently by leveraging hash-based sets for uniqueness and optimized sorting algorithms for ordering.

Formulas

The core deduplication process relies on Set Theory principles to filter the input vector L into a unique output set U. The cardinality of the output is always less than or equal to the input.

Lclean = {
trim(x) | x Lwhere len(trim(x)) > 0

Frequently Asked Questions

Client-side execution prioritizes data security and speed. By keeping the processing loop within your local JavaScript engine, we eliminate the latency of uploading large files and ensure your private lists never traverse the public internet.
This mode identifies duplicates based on their lowercase equivalent but preserves the first instance found. If your list contains "Apple" and "apple", and you select case-insensitive cleaning, only the one that appears first in the list remains in the output.
Alphabetical sort treats numbers as characters, resulting in an order like 1, 10, 2. Natural sort recognizes numeric substrings as values, producing the human-logical order of 1, 2, 10. This is critical for sorting file names or version numbers.
This tool treats every line as a single string. While it can remove duplicate CSV rows effectively, it does not parse individual columns for sorting or filtering. It is best used for sanitizing the file structure before importing it into spreadsheet software.
The standard "Remove Empty Lines" option only removes lines that contain absolutely no characters. If you enable "Trim Whitespace" simultaneously, lines containing only spaces or tabs will effectively become empty and subsequently be removed.
