Frequently asked questions

What is Remove all whitespace?

Strip every space, tab and line break from your text.

When would I actually use this?

Cleaning up a paste before it goes anywhere: stripping duplicates from a list, normalising case, removing accents for a filename, or sorting lines.

What is the most common mistake?

Sorting text as if it were ASCII. Accented letters land after Z in a byte sort, which puts "Zurich" before "Émile" and produces a list no reader will accept.

How is Remove all whitespace different from Trailing whitespace remover?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Trailing whitespace remover is the one to open when you need it to remove trailing spaces and tabs from the end of every line. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Remove repeated characters is the closest one after this: Collapse runs of the same character into one (helllo → helo).

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Remove accents and Remove blank lines — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Transformations use the browser's Unicode-aware string handling, so case changes and sorting respect the locale rather than byte order. Nothing is truncated: what comes out is the whole of what went in.

GuideCleaning Up a List Pasted from a Spreadsheet or a PDFA paste carries characters you cannot see: no-break spaces, soft hyphens, zero-width spaces, tabs and CRLF. Four cleanup tools were run against each of them, and they use three different definitions of whitespace.How-toCleaning Messy Text: The Order of Operations That Actually MattersStrip tags before decoding entities, trim before deduplicating, collapse whitespace last. Three orderings run in Node, a nine-step pipeline in the right sequence, and the invisible characters — U+00A0, U+200B, U+FEFF — that survive every naive cleanup.ExplainerDetecting the Language of a Text, and Why Short Texts FailMeasured, not asserted: 90 short real phrases across six languages, none declined and 68 right — 76%, falling to 64% under sixteen letters. Four of the wrong answers came back at 100% confidence.ExplainerSentence Case and Title Case: The Rules Differ by LanguageEnglish title case has three different cutoffs depending on the style guide. French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian have none at all. German capitalises every noun. The tool knows about none of this — here is exactly what it does.How-toFiltering Lines by a Pattern Without a Command LineThis is grep for people who do not use grep, with one important difference: the match is a plain substring, so a real regular expression returns an empty box and no error. Every claim here was checked by running the tool.ExplainerFinding Duplicates in a List Without a SpreadsheetTwo lines that look identical are often not identical. Case, a trailing space, a no-break space and two different encodings of the same accented letter were each run through the duplicate finder, and it reported no duplicates for three of the four.
