Frequently Asked Questions
The Remove Line Breaks tool converts multi-line text into a single line or continuous text by replacing line breaks with a character of your choice (typically a space). It's useful for reformatting text that needs to be on a single line.
Removing line breaks is useful when you need to paste text into a system that doesn't accept line breaks, when preparing text for certain formats like CSV files, or when you want to consolidate text that has been broken into multiple lines (like text copied from PDFs or emails).
When 'Preserve Paragraphs' is enabled, the tool will only remove single line breaks while keeping double line breaks (paragraph breaks) intact. This is useful when you want to join lines within paragraphs but keep the paragraphs themselves separated.
You can replace line breaks with any character or string. Common replacements include spaces, commas, semicolons, or even HTML tags like <br>. The default is a single space.
The 'Trim Lines' option removes any leading or trailing whitespace from each line before processing. This helps clean up text that has inconsistent spacing at the beginning or end of lines.
