About Add Line Prefix / Suffix

Quickly wrap every line with a custom prefix and/or suffix. Useful for generating SQL IN lists, markdown bullet points, quoted CSV values, HTML tags, or any structured text format. Runs entirely in your browser.

How to Prepend and Append Text to Lines

  1. Paste your list - one item per line - into the text input.
  2. Type the text you want at the start of each line in the Prefix box, and the text you want at the end in the Suffix box. Either may be left blank.
  3. Press Add Prefix / Suffix. Every line is wrapped in a single pass and the line counters update.
  4. Click Copy to send the result straight to your clipboard.

Add Line Prefix & Suffix: wrap every line of text with custom strings instantly. This tool turns a column of identifiers into a SQL IN ('a','b','c') list, a list of words into a Markdown bullet list, or a CSV column into JSON-quoted strings - by pasting and clicking once. Using a line prefixer or line suffix generator saves hours of manual editing when dealing with large datasets or code configuration files.

Common Uses for a Line Prefix & Suffix Generator

The input is split on newlines, each line is concatenated as prefix + line + suffix, and the lines are joined back with newlines. Empty lines stay empty-but-wrapped, and the prefix/suffix strings are taken literally - no escaping, no trimming, no template syntax - so what you type is exactly what you get on every row. This bulk line editor ensures that your formatting remains consistent across thousands of rows without the risk of manual typos.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I build a SQL IN-list of quoted strings?

Paste one value per line, set the prefix to a single quote and the suffix to a single quote followed by a comma. Wrap the whole result in parentheses and remove the trailing comma - you have a valid IN-list.

Are blank lines preserved in the output?

Yes. Every line of input - including empty ones - receives the prefix and suffix. If you need to drop blanks first, run the input through the Remove Empty Lines tool.

Does it strip whitespace at the start or end of each line?

No. The tool concatenates prefix + line + suffix verbatim. If your lines have stray spaces or tabs, clean them with the Text Cleaner first.

Can I use only a prefix or only a suffix?

Yes - leave the other field empty. The empty value adds nothing, so you can prepend or append independently in a single click.
