For creating JavaScript arrays, add prefix ' and suffix ', to convert a list of values into properly formatted array items. Then wrap in [' and '].
Programming Applications
Creating Array Literals
Convert a plain list into JavaScript, Python, or other array formats. Add quotes and commas automatically, then copy directly into your code.
Building SQL Statements
Transform a list of values into INSERT statement values or IN clauses. Add proper quoting and delimiters for your database.
HTML/XML Generation
Wrap content in tags to create list items, table rows, or other HTML structures without tedious manual formatting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add different text to each line?
This tool adds the same prefix/suffix to all lines. For variable additions, you'd need a more complex find-replace or scripting approach.
Does it work with empty lines?
By default, empty lines receive the prefix and suffix too (e.g., an empty line becomes "prefix+suffix"). Enable "Skip empty lines" to leave blanks unchanged.
Can I add tabs or special characters?
Yes! Paste any character including tabs, emojis, or Unicode symbols. What you type in the prefix/suffix fields is exactly what gets added.
