Common text cleanup workflows
A messy list often needs more than one pass. Start by converting comma separated values to lines or joining lines into a comma separated list, joining lines with semicolons, then trim whitespace, remove extra spaces, remove empty lines, remove duplicate lines, then use a list alphabetizer, randomize the list, sort lines alphabetically or add line numbers, reverse line order, remove bullets, or create bullet points, split by a delimiter, join lines with a custom separator, or add and remove repeated prefixes and suffixes. For copied prose, start with line break cleanup or convert the text to one line.
For drafts, descriptions, and form limits, use the word and character counter before submitting text elsewhere.
