Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a tab or multiple spaces as a separator?
Yes. While you can't type a tab directly, you can copy-paste a tab character into the 'Separator' field. For multiple spaces, simply type them in. For example, using ". " (dot followed by two spaces) works perfectly.
How does the 'Remove Numbers' feature work?
The tool uses a smart pattern (regular expression) to detect numbers at the beginning of each line, which may be followed by common separators like colons, periods, spaces, or tabs. It removes this pattern, restoring the original text.
Will this tool edit the content of my lines?
No. The tool is designed to never alter the original content of your lines. It only adds or removes the numbering prefix at the beginning of each line.
