One-shot list statistics
Input is split by lines. Whitespace-only lines are counted separately as "empty". Non-empty lines are trimmed and lowercased for the uniqueness / duplicate tally, so `Apple` and `apple` collapse into one entry - if you need case-sensitive stats, pre-process first.
Duplicate sample shows up to 5 dupe-item names in parentheses; if there are more, a `+N more` suffix indicates the overflow. The shortest/longest items are shown alongside their character lengths in parentheses.
Same op as Show list statistics - this is the summary-framed version of the same output.
How to use list analysis
- 1Paste your list into the input panel
- 2Output is a 7-line stats report
- 3No options - report is fixed
- 4For filtered analysis (e.g. only non-duplicates), pre-clean first with Dedupe
- 5For frequency tables use Find most frequent instead

What this tool actually does
Seven-metric report per run.
Items count (non-empty lines)
Number of lines after dropping fully blank and whitespace-only lines.
Unique count
Number of values that appear exactly once. Comparison is case-insensitive and trim-aware (no options to override).
Duplicates count + sample names
Number of values that appear more than once. Up to 5 sample names shown in parentheses; overflow indicated as `+N more`.
Empty lines count
Separate from the item count - tells you how much "noise" is in the input.
Length stats: average, shortest, longest
Average length across trimmed non-empty items (one decimal). Shortest and longest items are shown with their character counts in parentheses.
Worked example
One item per line. `apple` appears 3 times and `orange` 2 times - both are duplicates. `banana` is unique.
apple orange apple banana orange apple
Items: 6 Unique: 1 Duplicates: 2 (apple, orange) Empty lines: 0 Average length: 5.5 Shortest: apple (5) Longest: banana (6)
Behaviour reference
No options. These rules apply unconditionally.
| Metric | What it reports | On the sample |
|---|---|---|
| Items | Non-empty line count | 6 |
| Unique | Values appearing exactly once | 1 (just `banana`) |
| Duplicates | Values appearing 2+ times, with up to 5 sample names | 2 (apple, orange) |
| Empty lines | Whitespace-only / blank line count | 0 |
| Length stats | Average, shortest, longest (trimmed) | avg 5.5, shortest `apple` (5), longest `banana` (6) |
