Add Prefix/Suffix
Add custom text before (prefix) or after (suffix) each line of your text with our free prefix/suffix tool. Bulk edit multiple lines by adding common characters, symbols, or text at the start or end of every line. Ideal for formatting lists, adding quotes, creating code arrays, adding bullet points, or standardizing text formatting across many lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Enter your text in the input field, then specify what you want to add before each line (prefix) and/or after each line (suffix). You can add one or both. For example, add '- ' as a prefix to create a bullet list, or add ',' as a suffix to format data for a CSV or array.
Yes! To add quotes, use a double quote or single quote as the prefix and the same character as the suffix. For example, using double quotes as both prefix and suffix will wrap each line in quotes. This is useful for creating string arrays or formatted data.
Common prefixes include bullet points (- or *), numbered lists (1., 2.), quotes, brackets ([ or (), comment symbols (// or #), or any custom text you want at the start of each line like TODO: or Item:.
Common suffixes include commas for arrays/CSV, semicolons for code, closing quotes, closing brackets (] or )), or custom text like - done or (completed). You can also add punctuation or formatting consistently across all lines.
No, the prefix/suffix tool adds the same text to every line. If you need different text for different lines, you'll need to edit them individually or use a more advanced text processing tool. This tool is designed for bulk operations with consistent formatting.
Yes, the prefix and suffix will be added to every line including blank ones. If you don't want blank lines to get the prefix/suffix, consider removing them first using the Remove Blank Lines tool, then add your prefix/suffix.
Add quotes and commas to convert lists into JavaScript or Python arrays, add brackets for JSON arrays, create SQL INSERT statements by adding parentheses and commas, or format data for CSV files. For example, prefix with '"' and suffix with '",' to create string array literals quickly.
Yes! Create markdown lists by adding '- ' or '* ' as prefix, make blockquotes with '> ' prefix, add code fence markers with '```' prefix/suffix, create indented code blocks with tab prefix, or format tables with pipe symbols. It's perfect for bulk markdown formatting.
Generate SQL IN clauses by adding quotes and commas, create INSERT VALUE rows with parentheses and commas, format column lists with backticks, add comment prefixes (--) to multiple lines, or prepare data for bulk database operations. This significantly speeds up SQL query construction.
Absolutely! Add opening tags as prefix and closing tags as suffix to wrap content in HTML elements. For example, prefix '<li>' and suffix '</li>' creates list items, or use '<p>' and '</p>' for paragraphs. This is much faster than manually tagging multiple lines.
