How It Works
Advanced Text Processing Technology:
Our String Prefix/Suffix Adder uses sophisticated text manipulation algorithms to process and format your content efficiently:
- Line-by-Line Processing: Splits input text into individual lines using cross-platform line break detection (supports Windows \r\n, Unix \n, and Mac \r formats)
- Smart Filtering: Implements configurable empty line handling and whitespace trimming with regex-based pattern matching for consistent results
- Dynamic Numbering: Features comprehensive numbering systems including numeric (1,2,3), Roman numerals (I,II,III), and alphabetical sequences (A,B,C) with proper formatting
- Pattern Application: Applies prefix and suffix patterns using string concatenation with proper character encoding and special character handling
- Format Preservation: Maintains original text formatting while adding modifications, preserving spaces and special characters within the content
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Handles various text encodings and line ending formats for universal compatibility across different systems and platforms
The tool processes each line independently, ensuring consistent formatting while providing real-time preview capabilities and efficient handling of large text blocks up to 50,000 characters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use special characters and symbols in prefixes and suffixes?
Yes! The tool supports all Unicode characters including bullets (•), arrows (→), emoji (✓), HTML entities (<), and programming symbols. You can use any character combination for prefixes and suffixes, making it perfect for creating custom formatted lists, code blocks, or specialized markup.
What numbering formats are available and how do they work?
The tool offers seven numbering formats: numeric (1. 2. 3.), parenthetical (1) 2) 3)), bracketed ([1] [2] [3]), lowercase Roman (i. ii. iii.), uppercase Roman (I. II. III.), lowercase alphabetical (a. b. c.), and uppercase alphabetical (A. B. C.). Numbers are applied before the prefix text, allowing for complex formatting combinations.
How does the tool handle empty lines and whitespace?
You can configure empty line handling with the 'Skip empty lines' option - when enabled, blank lines remain untouched; when disabled, prefixes and suffixes are added to empty lines too. The 'Trim whitespace' option removes leading and trailing spaces before applying modifications, ensuring clean formatting.
Is there a limit to how much text I can process at once?
The tool can efficiently handle up to 50,000 characters or approximately 10,000 lines of text. For larger datasets, consider breaking your text into smaller chunks. The processing is done entirely in your browser, ensuring privacy while maintaining fast performance for typical use cases.
Can I combine prefixes, suffixes, and numbering all together?
Absolutely! You can combine all features simultaneously. For example, you could have numbered lines with bullet prefixes and status suffixes like '1. • Task description - Complete'. The order is: [Number] [Prefix] [Original Text] [Suffix], giving you maximum flexibility for complex formatting requirements.
