Overview
Introduction
Adding the same trailing character or word to every line of a list, a comma for a code array, a semicolon for a config file, is a repetitive edit that's easy to get wrong by hand.
It runs entirely client-side, so nothing you paste is ever uploaded to a server.
What Is Line Suffix Adder?
A line-based suffixing tool that appends your chosen suffix to the end of every line in the input, rather than just once at the very end of the whole text.
It runs entirely client-side as part of this site's String Tools collection, so nothing you paste is ever uploaded to a server.
How Line Suffix Adder Works
The tool splits the input on newline characters, appends the suffix to each resulting line, and joins the lines back together with newlines.
The transformation happens synchronously in JavaScript the moment you type, with no network round trip involved.
When To Use Line Suffix Adder
Use it to add a trailing comma to every line for a code array, a semicolon for a statement list, or any other consistent closing marker across many lines.
It's a fast way to get the answer without opening a code editor, a REPL, or writing a one-off script just to check.
Often used alongside Suffix Adder, Line Prefix Adder and Text Joiner.
Features
Advantages
- Applies the suffix to every line in one pass, not just the end of the text.
- Preserves blank lines and line order exactly.
Limitations
- Adds the same fixed suffix to every line, including the last one, so a trailing comma on the final entry may need manual removal.
- Does not trim or otherwise alter existing line content.
Examples
Best Practices & Notes
Best Practices
- Remember the suffix is appended to every line including the last; remove it manually from the final line if a trailing comma isn't wanted.
Developer Notes
The implementation is `input.split("\n").map((line) => line + suffix).join("\n")`, a straightforward per-line map with no trimming or filtering of the resulting lines.
Line Suffix Adder Use Cases
- Adding trailing commas to build a code array or list literal
- Appending a semicolon to every statement in a list
- Adding a shared closing tag or marker to each line
Common Mistakes
- Expecting the suffix to be added only once, at the end of the text, rather than to every line.
- Forgetting the suffix also lands on the last line, which is often unwanted for a trailing comma.
Tips
- Use Line Prefix Adder alongside this tool to wrap each line with both a prefix and a suffix.
