Thank you for making and supporting this handy tool. I work for a short-sighted company that resists acquiring any software that is new or appears to be capable of improving productivity. When my requisition for a ~$20 text cleaner software application was denied I found this site. You’ve saved my text bacon. Thanks.

It’s a pretty simple concept. All of the code is done through HTML/Javascript – so you can access it all by viewing the source.

Look at the source of this page to see how the form is constructed, then look in the source for the location of “form-cleaner.js”. That contains all the javascript to do the actual text-cleaning.

I’m not the best html developer in the world. What would it take to copy this page you have and replicate it on my domain?

Thanks!

That was a simple and incredibly stupid oversight. I was replacing the newline characters with an empty string.

Considering that there usually wouldn’t be a space before or after the newline (since it was being used as a hard line break), a space should have been inserted instead.

Should be fixed now… =)

Don’t hesitate to make any suggestions. I’d like to develop this to have a little more functionality, but I’m not sure where to take it first.

This tool will be great if we can fine tune it a little. Right now it’s combining words in the output.

Thanks!
