Remove Prefix or Suffix from Lines

⭐ Remove Prefix or Suffix from Lines Online

Use the Remove Prefix or Suffix tool to strip a specified text fragment from the start or end of every line in a list. It removes only a matching boundary string, leaving the rest of each line and all blank lines intact.

🔎 What Can You Remove?

• Remove a repeated prefix from the beginning of each line.
• Remove a repeated suffix from the end of each line.
• Remove both a prefix and a suffix in one pass.
• Choose case-insensitive matching when capitalization varies.

⚙️ How to Remove Text from Each Line

1. Paste your multiline text or upload a TXT or CSV file.
2. Enter the exact prefix to remove from the start of each line, the exact suffix to remove from the end, or both.
3. Enable Ignore case when matching if uppercase and lowercase letters should match equally.
4. Review the result, then copy it or download it as a TXT file.

Matching uses literal text, not a regular expression. Each specified prefix or suffix is removed at most once per line. If a line does not start or end with the text, that line is left unchanged.

🔎 Example: Remove a Prefix
