Tool usage guide
The Line Number Adder is a versatile utility designed to quickly prepend sequential numbers to your text or code blocks, making it easier to reference specific lines in documentation, logs, or programming scripts.
Background
A developer needs to explain a specific logic block in a 50-line script.
Problem
The reader needs to easily identify which line the explanation refers to.
How to use
Paste the code, select '1: Line' format, and enable 'Skip Blank Lines'.
format: 'number-colon', skipBlank: trueOutcome
The code is returned with each line prefixed by '1:', '2:', etc., excluding empty lines, making the documentation clear.
Background
An admin is reviewing a server log file to find a specific error occurrence.
Problem
The log file is long and lacks reference points for team communication.
How to use
Paste the log content, set the start number to 100, and use the '[1] Line' format.
startNumber: 100, format: 'bracket-number'Yes, you can use the 'Start Number' field to define your own beginning integer.
By default, it numbers every line, but you can enable 'Skip Empty Lines' or 'Skip Blank Lines' to ignore them.
Yes, the 'Number Separator' field allows you to define any character or string to appear between the number and your content.
The tool is designed for standard text and code blocks; for extremely large files, we recommend processing in smaller segments.
No, it simply prepends the line number to each line of your input; it does not alter the underlying content of your code.
Outcome
The log entries are numbered starting from [100], allowing the admin to say 'See error at line 105'.
