Dup remover

Dup Remover is an tool capable of removing all duplicate lines and words from plain text documents. It doesn't contain complex options or configuration settings, making it accessible to all types of users, even those less experienced with such software.

The interface is simple, made from a small window with a plain look, which is divided into two panes for separately performing duplicate removal operations when it comes to lines and words.

The process is the same for both methods: use the file browser to locate and indicate the plain text document (.txt), specify the name of the output file, and click a button to start the task immediately. It doesn't take long, depending on the size of the file.

Since the application creates new files, it leaves the original ones untouched, so there's no need to create backups beforehand. It doesn't give you the possibility to set the saving directory for the reconstructed files and they are created in the same location as the program.

The new files keep one entry of the duplicate lines. However, although this isn't mentioned by the developer, the lines are automatically sorted in alphabetical order.

The entire utility's packed in just one .exe that you can copy to a preferred folder on the hard drive or store on a removable storage unit to directly run Dup Remover on any PC.

However, you must have .NET Framework installed, since it was developed with the aid of this platform. It doesn't change your system registry configuration, though, nor create files on the disk without your knowledge.

To wrap it up, Dup Remover offers a simple and straightforward method for removing duplicate lines and words from plain text documents, but keep in mind that it also sorts the lines when creating the new files.
