Wrap Lines in Quotes or Brackets

Add a prefix and suffix to every line and join them — build SQL IN lists, arrays and CSV rows.

Wrapping lines means adding the same prefix and suffix to each one and joining them with a separator — the fastest way to turn a pasted column of values into a SQL IN clause, a JavaScript array or a CSV row. Ready-made forms for all four are produced alongside your custom result.

Frequently asked questions

Why not just use find and replace?

Because wrapping needs a prefix, a suffix and a separator applied together, and the quoting has to be right. Doing it in three passes is where a stray quote gets left behind and the SQL clause fails to parse.

How are quotes inside values handled?

The SQL form doubles them, which is the correct escape in every major dialect — O'Brien becomes 'O''Brien'. The JSON form uses the standard serialiser, so backslashes and control characters are escaped properly too.
