Case differences

If "Error" and "error" should be the same, turn off case sensitivity.

Tips and proven approaches

  • Run the remove line breaks tool first if your list is wrapped.
  • For sorting plus deduping, sort lines externally after this step to keep order predictable.
  • Export cleaned lists and version them in your repo for repeat use.
