A fixed 7-metric report
Lines are split and filtered. Blank / whitespace-only lines are counted separately as empty. Remaining lines are trimmed + lowercased for unique / duplicate detection, so `Apple` and `apple` merge. Length metrics use the trimmed item text.
Duplicate names: up to 5 sample duplicate values are listed in parentheses after the count. More than 5? A `+N more` suffix shows the overflow. Shortest and longest items include their character lengths in parentheses.
No options. For per-item frequencies, use Find most frequent. For case-sensitive analysis, pre-normalize with Uppercase or Lowercase.

What this tool actually does
Seven-metric report, no options.
Items count (non-empty)
Number of lines after dropping blank / whitespace-only rows.
Unique count
Values appearing exactly once. Case-insensitive, trim-aware.
Duplicates count with names
Values appearing 2+ times. Up to 5 sample names shown; overflow indicated as `+N more`.
Empty lines count
Blank or whitespace-only rows counted separately from the item total.
Length stats
Average length (1 decimal), shortest and longest items with character counts.
Worked example
Six lines with `apple` ×3, `banana` ×2, `cherry` ×1. `cherry` is the only unique; `apple` and `banana` are duplicates.
apple banana apple cherry banana apple
Items: 6 Unique: 1 Duplicates: 2 (apple, banana) Empty lines: 0 Average length: 5.3 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 `cherry`) |
| Duplicates | Values appearing 2+ times, up to 5 names | 2 (apple, banana) |
| Empty lines | Whitespace-only / blank count | 0 |
| Length stats | Average, shortest, longest (trimmed) | avg 5.3, shortest `apple` (5), longest `banana` (6) |
