Frequently Asked Questions

What types of line numbers can this tool remove?

This tool can remove various line number formats including: simple numeric prefixes (1, 2, 3...), numbered lists with periods (1. 2. 3.), numbers with colons (1: 2: 3:), numbers with brackets ([1] [2] [3]), code editor line numbers with tabs or spaces, and custom prefix/suffix combinations. It handles both sequential and non-sequential numbering.

How do I remove line numbers from code copied from an IDE?

Code copied from IDEs like VS Code, IntelliJ, or Sublime Text often includes line numbers with specific separators. Paste your code, then set the suffix field to match the separator (usually a tab, space, or colon). The tool will detect and remove the line numbers while preserving your code indentation.

Will this tool preserve my text formatting and indentation?

Yes, the tool only removes the specified line number pattern at the beginning of each line. All other formatting, indentation, and content remains intact. The original line breaks and spacing within your text are preserved.

Can I remove line numbers with custom prefixes like # or //?

Absolutely! Use the prefix field to specify characters that appear before the line number. For example, if your lines look like "# 1: code here", set prefix to "# " and suffix to ": ". The tool will match and remove "# 1: " from each line.

What happens to lines that do not have line numbers?

Lines that do not match the specified pattern are left unchanged. This means blank lines, comments, or lines without the expected prefix/number/suffix format will remain in their original form in the output.
