Line Prefix/Suffix Tool

A line prefix is text added to the beginning of each line, while a suffix is text added to the end. This tool allows you to add either or both to every line in your text, making it easy to transform plain text into formatted content like code comments, markdown lists, or structured data.

Select "Prefix Only" mode and enter your comment marker in the prefix field. For example, use "//" for JavaScript/C++, "#" for Python/Bash, or "--" for SQL. The tool will automatically add the marker to the beginning of each line, turning your text into comments.

Yes! Use "Prefix Only" mode and enter your preferred list marker: "-" for unordered lists, "*" for bullet points, or numbers like "1. " for ordered lists. You can also add spacing like "- " to ensure proper formatting.

When enabled, this option leaves empty lines unchanged during processing. This is useful when you want to preserve blank lines as separators in your text without adding prefixes or suffixes to them. When disabled, even empty lines will receive the specified prefix/suffix.

This option removes leading and trailing spaces from each line before adding the prefix/suffix. It's useful when working with inconsistently formatted text or when you want to standardize spacing before applying your custom formatting.

Absolutely! Select "Both" mode to add text to both the beginning and end of each line. This is perfect for wrapping lines in HTML tags (e.g., "<li>" prefix and "</li>" suffix), creating array declarations, or adding delimiters like quotes or brackets.

Use "Both" mode with appropriate SQL syntax. For example, set prefix to "('" and suffix to "')," to wrap each line in parentheses and quotes. This helps convert a list of values into a format ready for SQL INSERT statements.

Yes, you can use any characters including special symbols, spaces, tabs (\t), quotes, brackets, HTML/XML tags, and even emoji. The tool processes text exactly as you enter it, making it versatile for various formatting needs.

Yes! The tool uses real-time processing, so you'll see results update automatically as you type or modify the input text, prefix, suffix, or any settings. This provides instant feedback and makes it easy to experiment with different formatting options.

Common use cases include: converting text to code comments (// prefix), creating markdown lists (- prefix), wrapping text in HTML tags (<li> prefix, </li> suffix), adding semicolons to code lines (; suffix), creating CSV rows (, suffix), formatting array items ([" prefix, "], suffix), and adding line decorators for documentation or notes.

When you process text, a blue summary box appears showing the total number of lines, how many were processed, and how many were skipped. This helps you verify that the tool is working as expected, especially when using the "Skip empty lines" option.

Yes, click the "Load Sample" button to load example text with pre-configured settings. This demonstrates the tool's functionality and provides a starting point for your own formatting needs. You can then modify the sample to fit your specific requirements.
