List Wizard is a free list management software for Linux and Windows. More precisely this is a large selection of various different list management tools. Anything from breaking down large lists into smaller pieces, checking for duplicates, sorting, uppercase to lowercase conversion and vice versa, find and replace tool to more advanced stuff like string manipulation, is available.
Despite a very large selection of list management tools, List Wizard has a simple interface, without a lot of complicated menus. Each tool occupies a section, that way for basic list manipulations like opening up the list, duplicate entry look-up, sorting, we have the buttons just below the large empty area where lists will open up. Second section is for Find and Replace tool, third for string management, while all the way at the bottom you can find a list splitter, which can split the size of the list at specific numbers of lines/entries.

First step is of course to open up the list. Select Load from the list of buttons just below the large empty area where the list will open up.
Clicking on the Prune button will automatically clean up the list from duplicates. On the image above we have a list full of duplicates, after pruning, only three entries from the first image above were left.
String manipulation allows you to add text to the beginnings and ends of lines. Put a check mark and the string that you’d like to add to the options and then select add string to all. To split the list into several smaller ones, set the break line down below, and click Create Files.
