Text Deduplicator Plus

Creating large lists and updating them for a long period of time involves the risk of creating duplicates, that’s if little attention is paid, or multiple individuals add new lines without checking first. In this regard, Text Deduplicator Plus helps out clean documents of duplicate lines with little effort on your behalf.

On the one hand, the application comes in a pretty lightweight package, and requires no installation in order to function. Launching it after download is all it takes to bring up the main window and start cleaning text documents. On the other hand, this can be done from a USB flash drive on other computers as well, without affecting stability of the target PC.

The application is capable of working with text, but it is read only from TXT and LOG files. Adding one can’t be done by dragging it over the main window, so you need to rely on the built-in browse dialog for this to be possible. Text is shown right away, but isn’t editable to avoid making any mistakes.

Before the cleansing begins, there’s the possibility to simply count duplicates. Sadly, a lengthy document can be rather difficult to analyze this way, because counting only means adding the number of occurrences after each line, with no highlighter, or option to sort according to the number of duplicate items.

There is an option to sort, but it doesn’t take the counter into consideration, and only arranges lines in an alphabetical order. All duplicate lines are removed at the press of a button, with a new file saved in the same location. The original file is not overwritten, and you can specify the save location and name before cleaning the document.

Text Deduplicator Plus is a straightforward application with the sole purpose of leaving one of each item inside a text document. Although it can get a little tricky to analyze large files, even with the counter, removing is instantly done, with the new file automatically saved.
