Multiple options for handling line breaks - remove them all, keep paragraph separators, or replace with custom separators.
Remove line breaks and join text with spaces. Perfect for fixing PDF copy-paste where sentences are broken mid-line.
Delete blank lines while preserving the structure of lines that contain text. Clean up spacing in documents.
Replace line breaks with any separator - commas, semicolons, tabs, or custom text strings.
Keep double line breaks (paragraph separators) while removing single line breaks within paragraphs.
Remove extra spaces at the start and end of each line before joining for cleaner results.
Turn multi-line lists into comma-separated values, ready for spreadsheets or databases.

Understanding the difference between line breaks and paragraph breaks helps you clean text more effectively. A single line break (created by pressing Enter once) moves text to the next line. A paragraph break (created by pressing Enter twice, or using a blank line) creates a new paragraph with visual separation.
When copying from PDFs, text often gets single line breaks in the middle of sentences because PDFs store text by visual position, not logical structure. Each line on the PDF page becomes a separate line in the copied text, even if it's mid-sentence.
ListWrangler lets you handle both: remove all line breaks to create continuous text, remove only single line breaks while preserving paragraph structure, or remove only empty lines while keeping all other formatting intact.
Before (PDF copy):
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. This sentence was broken across multiple lines in the PDF.
After (Join Lines):
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. This sentence was broken across multiple lines in the PDF.
Paste your text with unwanted line breaks into the editor above, then go to the Clean menu and select 'Join Lines' or use the Separators menu to choose how lines should be joined. You can join with spaces, commas, or any custom separator. The line breaks are removed instantly.
Yes! Double line breaks (which typically indicate paragraph separations) can be preserved while single line breaks within paragraphs are removed. Use the 'Remove Empty Lines' option to target only blank lines, or manually adjust after using Join Lines.
Paste your multi-line list, then use the Separators menu to join lines with commas. You can choose 'Comma' or 'Comma + Space' depending on whether you want spacing after each comma. This is perfect for converting lists into CSV format.
PDFs store text by position on the page, not by logical paragraphs. When you copy text, each visual line becomes a separate line, even mid-sentence. This is a limitation of the PDF format. ListWrangler's line break removal fixes this by rejoining the text properly.
Absolutely! Use the Separators menu to join lines with any character or string you want - spaces, commas, semicolons, tabs, or custom text. You can also use Find & Replace to change specific line break patterns.
You have control over both. 'Join Lines' removes line breaks and joins text into continuous lines. 'Remove Empty Lines' specifically targets blank lines (lines with no content) while keeping the structure of lines that have text.
