FAQ — Find Unique Lines Free Online Tool

What does 'appear exactly once' mean?

A line is 'unique' if it appears exactly one time in the input. Lines that appear 2+ times are excluded.

How is this different from 'Remove Duplicates'?

'Remove Duplicates' keeps one copy of each line. 'Find Unique' only keeps lines that have NO duplicates.

Does it preserve original order?

Yes. Unique lines are returned in the order they first appeared in the input.
