Advanced Tips

  • Multi-Stage Processing: Chain operations (e.g., remove duplicates, then regex filter, then sort).
  • Powerful Regex Filtering: Use regex like ^[A-Z].*\d+$ for lines starting uppercase & ending with a number.
  • Specialized Presets: Create presets for specific data types (e.g., "CSV Header Check," "Code Cleanup").
  • Insightful Duplicate Analysis: Use the analysis tab to find systemic issues in data collection or content creation.
  • Large File Handling: For very large files, disable "Auto Process" and consider breaking them into smaller chunks.
