Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as an item?

An item is any text between your chosen delimiters. For example, in a comma-separated list, each value between commas is an item. Empty items (consecutive delimiters with nothing between them) can be included or excluded using the "Skip Empty" option.

What is the difference between raw total and processed total?

The raw total is the number of items before any processing (trimming or filtering). The processed total (Items after processing) shows the count after applying your selected options like trimming and skipping empty items.

Can I use regex for complex delimiters?

Yes, switch to Regex delimiter mode. This is useful when your list uses multiple delimiters or complex patterns. For example, /\s*,\s*/ splits on commas with optional surrounding whitespace.

Is there a limit to list size?

The tool runs entirely in your browser and can handle lists with thousands of items. Performance depends on your device, but typical use cases with several thousand items work smoothly.
