About String Utilities

String Utilities is a versatile text-manipulation toolkit that bundles the most common string operations into a single, easy-to-use interface. Reverse entire strings or line-by-line, sort lines alphabetically or numerically in ascending or descending order, deduplicate repeated lines, strip leading and trailing whitespace, count how many times a substring occurs, and split or join content with any delimiter you specify. Every operation is applied instantly and can be chained—run sort first, then deduplicate, then trim—so you can clean up messy data exports, normalize config lists, or pre-process log files in seconds without writing a single line of code.

Features

  • ✓Reverse entire text or each line independently
  • ✓Sort lines alphabetically or numerically, ascending or descending
  • ✓Remove duplicate lines with case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching
  • ✓Trim leading and trailing whitespace from every line
  • ✓Count occurrences of a substring with case options
  • ✓Split text by a custom delimiter into one item per line
  • ✓Join lines into a single string with a custom separator
  • ✓Chain multiple operations in sequence before copying the result

Common Use Cases

  • Cleaning up CSV or TSV data exports by removing duplicate rows
  • Alphabetically sorting lists of imports, dependencies, or config keys
  • Splitting comma-separated values into newline-separated lists for editing
  • Counting how many times a specific error code appears in a log file
  • Normalizing config files by trimming accidental whitespace from lines
  • Reversing strings for simple obfuscation or palindrome testing

Frequently Asked Questions

QCan I chain multiple operations together?

Yes. Each operation modifies the current text in the editor. Apply sort, then remove duplicates, then trim whitespace in sequence to produce clean output.

QWhat delimiters are supported for the split/join operations?

You can specify any character or string as a delimiter—commas, tabs, pipes, semicolons, or even multi-character sequences like ' | ' are all supported.

QIs the duplicate removal case-sensitive?

You can toggle case sensitivity. In case-insensitive mode, 'Apple', 'apple', and 'APPLE' are treated as the same line and only the first occurrence is kept.

QDoes sorting handle numbers correctly?

Yes. Enabling numeric sort mode orders lines by their numeric value rather than lexicographic order, so '10' sorts after '9' rather than before '2'.
