When you select the “Remove” operation, the tool will look for an exact match of the specified prefix at the very beginning of each line and/or an exact match of the specified suffix at the very end of each line. **Yes, the “Remove” operation is case-sensitive.** If your prefix is “ID_” and a line starts with “id_”, it will not be removed.

Yes, absolutely! You can enter text into both the “Prefix to Add/Remove” and “Suffix to Add/Remove” fields simultaneously. When you click “Apply Changes” with the “Add” operation selected, both the prefix will be added to the beginning and the suffix to the end of each line.

Processing extremely large numbers of lines (e.g., hundreds of thousands) might consume significant system resources, potentially causing your browser to slow down or become unresponsive. For optimal performance when you **bulk edit text lines**, we recommend using a modern web browser on a device with ample memory and processing capabilities.
