Line Comma Formatter Guide
Add commas, quotes, arrays or SQL IN formatting to one-item-per-line lists.
A list often arrives with one item per line, but the place you want to paste it expects commas or quotes. Line Comma Formatter changes the shape of that list. It does not look up or validate the items.
Start with two items
Put apple on the first line and banana on the second line of Input list. With Output set to Add comma at end of each line, the result should be two lines: apple, and banana,.
Choose JavaScript array to see the same items inside [ and ], surrounded by double quotes. Choose SQL IN list to see ('apple', 'banana'). The result updates as you change a control; Copy takes only the current output.
Keep track of the input
Trim removes spaces at the start and end of each line. Skip empty removes blank lines. If those spaces or blank lines are meaningful, turn the checkboxes off and compare the output. Remove duplicates and Sort change which items remain and their order, so leave them off unless you actually want those changes.
A generated SQL list is for inspecting or drafting a query, not a replacement for parameterized queries in application code. Do not put untrusted user input directly into a SQL string.
