🧹 String Cleaning

Cleans text with operations applied from top to bottom. Each step shows only its own fields.

  • Operation: First step; defaults to Collapse Spaces.

Every operation and field has an example in its tooltip.

Case formats

Format Input Output
lowercase Red FOX red fox
UPPERCASE Red fox RED FOX
Title Case the red fox The Red Fox
Sentence case HELLO. GOODBYE! Hello. Goodbye!
camelCase red fox redFox
PascalCase red fox RedFox
snake_case RedFox red_fox
CONSTANT_CASE red fox RED_FOX

Joined formats split words at whitespace, punctuation and case boundaries: HTTPServer becomes http_server with snake_case. Other case formats keep punctuation and spacing. Sentence case treats ., !, ? and line breaks as sentence boundaries.

Outputs

  • cleaned_string: Text after all operations.

Examples

  1. Remove Line Prefix, Text "Chapter ": "Chapter red fox" becomes " red fox".
  2. Trim Line Starts: becomes "red fox".
  3. Collapse Spaces: becomes "red fox".

Notes

  • Text fields take one entry per line, applied in order. Matching is case-sensitive.
  • Prefix/suffix removal repeats at the selected end of each line. Spaces are significant except around marker entries.
  • Remove All Spaces removes ordinary spaces, keeping tabs and line breaks.
  • Normalize Whitespace also replaces tabs and line breaks with spaces. Remove Duplicate Lines keeps the first exact match; trim lines first to ignore surrounding whitespace.
  • Remove From Start/End Until uses the first/last delimiter in the whole string. Empty or missing delimiters leave text unchanged. Keep Delimiter retains it: photo.v2.png becomes photo.v2. when trimming from the end with ..
  • Character Pairs needs two characters per nonempty line. Opening/Closing Tags need equal nonempty line counts.
  • Brackets and tags match across lines to the nearest closing delimiter; nesting is not supported.
  • Find and Replace needs equal line counts. Empty Find lines are skipped; empty replacements delete matches.
