Frequently Asked Questions
What is a delimited list?
A delimited list is a sequence of items separated by a specific character called a delimiter. Common examples include comma-separated values (CSV), space-separated tags, and pipe-separated data.
Can I count items in CSV files?
Yes! Simply paste your CSV data and use comma (,) as the delimiter. The tool will count all items and show you unique values and empty fields.
How do you count unique items?
We compare each item after trimming whitespace and count only distinct values. This helps you identify duplicates in your lists.
What's the difference between empty and whitespace items?
Empty items are completely blank (,,). Whitespace items contain spaces or tabs but no other characters (", "). Both are flagged to help you clean your data.
Can I use multi-character delimiters?
Currently we support single-character delimiters for simplicity and performance. Most common delimiters (comma, space, pipe, semicolon, tab) are single characters.
Is there a limit to how many items I can count?
No practical limit. The tool works efficiently with lists of hundreds or thousands of items.
What are common use cases?
CSV data analysis, hashtag counting, tag cloud generation, shopping lists, inventory items, keyword lists, and any scenario where you need to analyze delimited text.
