Add Prefix & Suffix to Each Line

1. Paste your text into the input box with one item per line. The tool accepts any text: names, URLs, file paths, code snippets, or plain words. Use the example button to see a demo list.

2. Enter a prefix and/or suffix. Type the text you want added before each line in the prefix field, and the text you want added after each line in the suffix field. Use one or both fields.

3. Use presets for common patterns. Click a preset button to instantly fill in the prefix and suffix for wrapping in quotes, parentheses, HTML li tags, bullet points, or trailing commas.

4. Copy the output. The right panel updates live as you type. Click the copy button to copy the transformed text to your clipboard, ready to paste into your editor, spreadsheet, or code file.

Programming and development: Wrap variable names in quotes to build SQL IN clauses, add commas to create CSV data, or prepend indentation to code blocks. Convert plain lists into HTML list items with <li> tags, or add semicolons to the end of CSS property lines.

Data formatting: Add quotation marks around each value for CSV or JSON formatting. Prepend column headers, add delimiters, or wrap entries in brackets for array notation. Transform raw data exports into structured formats ready for import.

Content creation: Add bullet points or numbered prefixes to plain text lists. Wrap items in parentheses for citations or references. Prepend emoji or symbols for social media formatting, or add hashtags before each keyword.

Batch file operations: Prepend file paths or directory names to file lists. Add extensions or suffixes to batch rename files. Build command-line arguments by prepending flags like --include= to each line in a list.

Database and SQL: Wrap values in single quotes for SQL INSERT statements. Add commas between values for bulk inserts. Prepend table names or schema prefixes to column lists for multi-table queries.

Markdown and documentation: Add list markers (-, *, or numbered) to lines for Markdown lists. Wrap text in backticks for inline code formatting. Prepend > for blockquotes or add indentation for nested structures.

Chain with other tools: Use the Text Sorter to alphabetize your list first, then add prefixes and suffixes. Or use the Duplicate Remover to clean up your list before wrapping each line. Combine tools for complex text workflows.

SQL IN clause trick: Paste your values, set prefix to a single quote and suffix to a single quote followed by a comma. Copy the output, remove the trailing comma from the last line, and wrap in parentheses for a ready-to-use SQL IN clause.

Build arrays: Add prefix [ and suffix ], then paste the result into your code. For JSON arrays, wrap in quotes first, add commas, then manually add the outer brackets. Works for JavaScript, Python, PHP, and more.

HTML generation: Convert a plain list of items into HTML markup instantly. Use <li> tags for lists, <option> tags for select dropdowns, or <td> tags for table cells. Save time on repetitive HTML coding.

Markdown lists: Add "- " as a prefix to turn plain text into a Markdown unordered list. Use "1. " for ordered lists. Combine with the Text Cleaner to remove existing bullets before adding new formatting.

Batch commands: Prepend "mv " or "cp " to file names to build shell commands. Add target paths as suffixes. Generate entire batch scripts from a simple list of file names — just paste the output into your terminal.
