Duplicate Lines Remover is a Windows application whose only goal is to remove duplicate lines from text documents, as the name clearly says. It can scan files, entire directories and strings given by the user, as well as skip blank lines. Its configuration set is quite intuitive to figure out.
Fast installation and simple UI
Setting up the software program requires minimal time and effort on the user's behalf, since it includes standard settings. Its interface does not stand out in the visual department, as Duplicate Lines Remover prefers a simple look that lets users immediately dive into the configuration.Files can be pointed out with the help of the file browser or drag-and-drop support. As previously mentioned, it is also possible to indicate entire directories instead.
Remove or sort duplicate lines
Checking for duplicate lines is done with the click of a button. However, the tool does not offer a preview of the modifications. Instead, it can make the corrections and save the content to new files after giving them a name and destination directory; the first occurrence of the duplicate group will be kept. Another possibility is to sort the duplicates in a group instead of deleting them.
Configure program settings
As for the app's configuration, it is possible to integrate a shell extension into Windows Explorer by adding Duplicate Lines Remover to the SendTo menu, enable items sorting, as well as ignore and remove empty lines. There are no other notable options available here.

It is fast, effective and simple to use, making the app valuable to anyone looking to remove duplicate lines from strings, files or entire directories.
