    Choose a tool, enter values or select a file.

  2. 02

    Make it yours

    Adjust the options and run the action.

  3. 03

What this tool does

Identify repeated values in a pasted list without losing their original order. This is useful for reference numbers, email lists, exported IDs and copied log entries. The results show which values repeat, how often they occur and their line numbers. You can export one copy of each value or only values that appeared more than once.

How to use it

Paste one value per line. Decide whether to ignore case, trim spaces or skip blank lines. Select Find duplicates and choose the export you need.

Example

apple
banana
apple

The example contains two apple entries. Exporting unique lines gives apple and banana.

Does it compare entire lines?

Yes. It compares complete lines rather than individual words. Case and whitespace options change which lines count as equal.

Where is my text processed?

The bundled tool code processes text in your browser. It does not send or save your input. Extensions and other site plugins may have separate behavior.

Worked examples

Check repeated IDs, reference numbers or copied log entries before cleaning a list. Complete lines are compared, not individual words or CSV columns.

Repeated IDs with leading zeros

Settings: Trim spaces enabled; ignore case enabled; skip blank lines enabled; unique-line export

Input:

00123
00456
00123

00123 appears twice at lines 1 and 3. The unique export keeps first-occurrence order.

Output:

00123
00456

The example output has 2 lines. Compare its order, separators and whitespace with the input before copying the result.

Group case and spaces

Settings: Ignore case and Trim spaces enabled; skip blank lines enabled; unique-line export

Input:

[email protected]
 [email protected] 

One duplicate group; the first trimmed spelling is retained.

Output:

[email protected]

Export only repeating values

Settings: Duplicate-lines export; ignore case, Trim spaces and skip blank lines enabled

Input:

apple
banana
apple
pear

Each repeating value is exported once. Single-occurrence values are omitted.

Output:

apple

Choose the right tool

Use this tool when you need occurrence counts and the original line positions. Remove Duplicate Lines is the simpler choice when you only need a clean list; Extract Lines That Occur Only Once excludes every repeated value.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Use one value per line. A comma-separated list on one line is treated as one complete value.
  • The on-screen report includes counts and positions; the selected export controls what Copy and Download produce.
  • Case-insensitive grouping is useful for many lists but may be unsuitable for case-sensitive identifiers.
  • Skip blank lines and Trim spaces change grouping. Review these options before comparing records.
  • Grouping compares complete lines; case and whitespace settings can merge otherwise different identifiers.

Frequently asked questions

Will it sort my cleaned list?

No. Unique export preserves the order of first occurrences. Use Sort Lines afterward if you need alphabetical ordering.

Does it find repeated words inside a paragraph?

No. It compares entire lines. Place one item on each line to compare individual items.

Are line numbers from the original input?

Yes. Duplicate positions refer to original input lines, even when blank lines are skipped.

How can I locate repeated lines in text online?

Paste one value per line. Decide whether to ignore case, trim spaces or skip blank lines. Select Find duplicates and choose the export you need.

Where is my input processed?

The bundled tool processes input in your browser. It does not upload tool input to a conversion service. Other site plugins, analytics, advertising and browser extensions may have separate behavior.
