Common questions

FAQ

Answers to common questions about this tool.

Does this tool ignore punctuation or capitalization?

Not by default. Exact matching is used unless you turn on Ignore letter case. Punctuation and internal spacing still count as differences.

What happens if the same line appears with extra spaces at the start or end?

They are treated as different lines by default. Turn on Ignore leading and trailing spaces if you want edge spaces ignored during duplicate checks.

What is the limit per run?

You can process up to 1000 lines per run. If you paste more than that, the tool will ask you to shorten the input first.
