FAQs
What counts as a prefix?
Characters at the very start of a line — for example - in - apples or // in commented code.
What if a line does not start with the prefix?
It is left untouched, so mixed content is safe to process.
Can I remove a suffix instead?
This tool handles prefixes only. Try the Add Suffix Tool page for related text utilities.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs entirely in your browser and never transmits or saves your entries.
