Text tools

Clean, fix accents, sort lists, replace, extract.

What it does

Small jobs on a text, on your device. Paste on the right: the formatting is always dropped (that’s “paste as plain text”). The result is on the left, to copy or download.

• Clean: fixes broken accents (“été” becomes “été”: UTF-8 read as Windows-1252), switches quotes to typographic or straight ones (some software chokes on curly quotes), turns a spaced hyphen into a dash, removes extra spaces.
• Lists: one item per line: sort, remove duplicates, reverse, shuffle, number, remove empty lines, or switch between one per line and “a, b, c”.
• Replace: several rules at once, one per line, written find => replace.
• Extract: e-mails, links, phone numbers, dates or amounts found in a long text, without duplicates.
• The .txt keeps Windows or Mac / Linux line endings, as you choose.

Free, no account, nothing is sent: it runs in your browser, even offline.
