Frequently asked questions
Which duplicate is kept?
The first occurrence of each line is kept and later duplicates are removed, preserving the original order.
Is matching case sensitive?
By default no, so ‘Apple’ and ‘apple’ are treated as duplicates. Enable case sensitivity to treat them as distinct.
