Tool usage guide
The Multiline Merger is a versatile text processing tool designed to consolidate multiple lines of text into a single, continuous string, offering precise control over separators, trimming, and formatting.
Background
You have a list of 50 customer IDs copied from a vertical column in a spreadsheet.
Problem
You need these IDs in a single line separated by commas to use in a SQL query.
How to use
Paste the IDs, select 'Comma (, )' as the separator, and ensure 'Remove Empty Lines' is checked.
separator: comma, removeEmptyLines: trueOutcome
A clean, comma-separated string ready to be pasted into your database management tool.
Background
You have a list of product codes that need to be used in a 'WHERE id IN (...)' query.
Problem
Manually adding quotes and commas to every item is tedious and error-prone.
How to use
Paste the product codes, set the separator to comma, and use the prefix '(' and suffix ')'.
separator: comma, addPrefix: '(', addSuffix: ')'Yes, select 'Custom separator' from the dropdown and enter your desired character or string in the provided field.
Yes, the 'Remove Empty Lines' option is enabled by default to ensure a clean output.
Yes, you can use the 'Add Prefix' and 'Add Suffix' fields to wrap your merged content with specific text.
While there is no strict character limit, performance may vary with extremely large datasets; for best results, process text in manageable chunks.
Enable the 'Preserve Original Spaces' checkbox to prevent the tool from collapsing multiple consecutive spaces.
Outcome
A perfectly formatted string ready for immediate use in your SQL script.
