Quick-start guides for getting the most out of OnlineTextLab's browser-based tool suite — from keyboard shortcuts and batch workflows to combining tools in sequence.
A common workflow: export a CSV, paste the first column into Remove Duplicate Lines, run Sort Lines to alphabetise, then copy the result into CSV to JSON to build a lookup object. Each tool handles one transformation; chaining them takes seconds and requires no code.
The Find and Replace tool supports regex patterns. Enable the Regex toggle to use capture groups and backreferences. For example, replacing (\w+)@example\.com with [email protected] renames email domains across a large list in one pass. The preview shows matched spans before you commit.
The Random Text Generator produces lorem-ipsum-style paragraphs, random words, or random sentences. Set the output length and format, then use the result as placeholder copy in mockups, test fixtures, or database seed scripts. Output is deterministic per seed so test results are reproducible.
Copy the current version of a document into the left panel and the proposed revision into the right panel. The Diff Checker highlights every changed line. Download the result as a .diff file to include in code review comments, editorial feedback emails, or version control commit messages.
