Frequently Asked Questions
What if some items don't have the prefix?
If an item doesn't start with the specified prefix, it's left unchanged. Only items that actually begin with the prefix text will have it removed.
Can I remove prefixes from items with different separators?
Yes! Switch to regex mode to handle complex delimiter patterns. This is useful when your input list uses a mix of separators like commas, semicolons, and spaces.
