Technical Details
Each cleaning option works independently using targeted regular expressions: trim() for leading/trailing spaces, [^\S\n]+ for extra spaces between words (preserving newlines), /\s/g for all whitespace removal, and line-by-line filtering for blank lines. The 'Remove All Spaces' option automatically enables other relevant options since it's the most aggressive cleaning mode.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'Extra Spaces' and 'All Spaces'?
'Extra Spaces' collapses multiple consecutive spaces into one, keeping single spaces between words. 'All Spaces' removes every whitespace character including spaces, tabs, and newlines.
Does it remove tabs too?
Yes, 'Remove All Spaces' removes tabs, spaces, and newlines. The extra spaces option also handles tabs between words by converting them to single spaces.
Can I combine multiple options?
Yes, all options (except 'All Spaces') can be combined. When 'All Spaces' is enabled, it overrides the other options since it removes everything.
