What it does
Text Mechanic groups text operations such as column extraction, line-by-line joining, duplicate removal, sorting and prefix or suffix insertion.
Choose the operation that matches the data unit: duplicate words and duplicate lines are separate tools. The column extractor takes pasted text, column/row delimiters and a column count, then organizes the output. Its identifier/title options affect what remains in the result. Removing empty rows can break positions that correspond to data in other columns, so inspect alignment before reuse. The page says extraction uses client-side JavaScript. Text Mechanic's visible access notice gives four free tasks per hour, with Pro offering unlimited access.
