Sentence Remover Settings Guide

Match Whole Word Only: Deletes sentences only if they contain an exact match of the word or phrase. It won’t match partial words inside longer words.

Invert Match: Works in reverse — instead of deleting matching sentences, it keeps them and removes all the others.

Case Sensitive Deletion: Takes letter casing into account. “Word” and “word” will be treated as different if this is checked.

One Sentence Per Line: Places each sentence on its own line in the output, making it easier to read or copy sentence-by-sentence.

Add Numbering: Adds numbers at the beginning of each sentence, but only works if “One Sentence Per Line” is selected.
