Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between case-sensitive and case-insensitive comparison?
Case-sensitive comparison treats 'Hello' and 'hello' as different lines, while case-insensitive treats them as the same. Choose based on your specific needs.
Should I preserve the original order or sort alphabetically?
Preserving order keeps the first occurrence of each line in its original position. Sorting alphabetically arranges all unique lines in alphabetical order.
How does the tool handle empty lines?
Empty lines are treated as valid lines and will be deduplicated. If you have multiple empty lines, only one will be kept.
