Add Prefix / Suffix to Lines
Add custom text before and after every line. Perfect for adding bullet points, HTML tags, SQL quotes, code comments, or list markers.
Batch Text Transformation with Prefixes and Suffixes
This tool adds a prefix, suffix, or both to every line of your text at once. Instead of editing each line manually, paste your content, specify what to add at the start and end of each line, and the tool transforms everything instantly. It is one of the fastest ways to format lists, wrap lines in markup, or prepare data for another system.
Common uses include adding bullet points, wrapping lines in HTML tags, quoting strings for SQL or code, adding comment markers, and prefixing list items with numbers or symbols. The tool handles any number of lines and preserves your original content exactly.
Common Prefix and Suffix Combinations
| Use Case | Prefix | Suffix | Example Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bullet list | - | (none) | - First item |
| HTML list items | <li> | </li> | <li>First item</li> |
| SQL string values | ' | ', | 'First item', |
| Code comments | // | (none) | // First item |
| Markdown checkboxes | - [ ] | (none) | - [ ] First item |
| CSV quoting | " | ", | "First item", |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add a prefix without a suffix?
Yes. Leave the suffix field empty and only the prefix will be added to each line. The same works in reverse; leave the prefix empty to add only a suffix.
Does it skip empty lines?
By default, the prefix and suffix are applied to every line including blank ones. Some versions of the tool offer a toggle to skip empty lines, so only lines with content are modified.
How is this different from find and replace?
Find and replace changes specific text within lines. This tool adds text at the start and end of every line without modifying existing content. It is a structural transformation rather than a content substitution, which makes it ideal for formatting and wrapping tasks.
