About the Trim Text Lines Tool
The Trim Text Lines Tool helps you quickly trim leading and trailing whitespace from each line of your text — particularly useful for text processing, data cleaning, and preparing text for analysis or machine learning tasks.
Text pasted from an indented source or a differently-formatted document often carries stray leading or trailing spaces on individual lines, which can cause subtle mismatches when comparing or processing the text later. This tool trims each line individually — leaving the content and line breaks intact, just removing the whitespace padding at each end.
