How to Use This Text Cleaner

  • 1. Paste Your Text: Start by pasting the text you want to clean into the "Input Text" area on the left.
  • 2. Select Sanitize Options: Choose one or more cleaning actions from the "Sanitize Options" section. As you check or uncheck options, the changes will be applied to your text in real-time in the "Sanitized Text" area.
    • Leave first/last column: Keeps only the specified column from space or tab-separated data.
    • Remove first/last column: Deletes the specified column from space or tab-separated data.
    • Remove spaces: Trims extra spaces between words and at the ends of lines.
    • Remove quotes/commas/slashes/hyphens/underscores: Deletes the specified characters.
    • Strip numbers/symbols/emojis/punctuation: Cleans out these specific character types.
    • Auto-Capitalize Sentences: Converts the first letter of each sentence to uppercase.
    • Remove HTML Tags: Strips all HTML tags from the text.
    • Line break options: Either remove all line breaks or consolidate multiple breaks into one.
    • Strip Tabs: Converts tab characters into single spaces.
    • Remove Non-Alphanumeric: Strips out characters that aren't letters or numbers.
  • 3. Review Sanitized Text: The cleaned text will appear in the "Sanitized Text" area on the right. You can see the character, word, and line counts update above both text areas.
  • 4. Column Operations Logic:
    • If both "Leave first" and "Leave last" are checked, both columns will be kept.
    • If both "Remove first" and "Remove last" are checked, both will be removed (useful for isolating middle columns).
    • You cannot select "Leave" and "Remove" for the same column simultaneously (e.g., Leave First and Remove First). The tool will automatically manage these conflicts.
  • 5. Copy or Reset:
    • Click the Copy button to copy the sanitized text to your clipboard. The icon will change to a checkmark temporarily to confirm the copy.
    • Click the Reset button to clear both text areas and all selected options.
