Remove, find, and count with one line parse

Newline is the default delimiter

Each line is treated as one item, so the output remains easy to scan and copy back into editors, terminals, spreadsheets, or documents.

Preserve order and keep first or last

The result keeps retained lines in input order by default. Keep first preserves the first matching line; Keep last retains the final spelling or formatting and its position.

Switch between Result, Repeated, and Once only

Result removes extra occurrences, Repeated lists values that occur at least twice, and Once only keeps lines seen exactly once. Copy with counts adds each returned line's occurrence count.

A line-by-line remove, find, or count workflow

1

Paste lines

Each newline is treated as one item, matching the most common duplicate-line workflow.

2

Choose the result view

Use Result to remove extras, Repeated to find duplicate lines, or Once only to isolate lines that occur once.

3

Review counts and retention

Check total, distinct, repeated, once-only, and removed counts, then keep the first or last occurrence before copying or downloading.

Remove duplicate lines FAQ

Can I find and count duplicate lines instead of removing them?

Yes. Use the Find duplicates preset or switch Show to Repeated. The preview shows occurrence counts, and Copy with counts creates a counted report.

Will the result preserve line order?

Yes. Order is preserved by default. Sorting changes that order only when you enable it, and Keep first or Keep last controls which matching line is retained.

Can blank lines be removed too?

Yes. Turn on Remove empty lines in the visible cleanup options.
