How to use Line Merger & Joiner

Get the best out of Line Merger & Joiner: every option explained, a worked example, and what to check when the output is not what you expected.

Updated July 31, 2026

What it does

Join lines of lists with custom dividers, trailing parameters, or commas. It runs entirely in your browser — your input never leaves your device.

Options

Every setting this tool exposes, straight from the code that validates it.

OptionTypeDefaultWhat it does
texttextMultiline text (one item per line). Required.
connectorone of: comma, semicolon, space, pipe, newline, customcommaDefaults to comma.
customConnectortext
quoteTypeone of: none, single, double, backticknoneDefaults to none.
stripEmptytrue / falsetrueDefaults to true.
prefixtext
suffixtext

Worked example

Run these settings on the tool page:

  • text: hello
  • connector: comma
  • quoteType: none
  • stripEmpty: true

You get:

hello

Getting the result you want

Most of the control here is in the options above. If the output is not what you expected, the setting to check first is connector and customConnector — those change the shape of the output rather than the input it accepts.

Troubleshooting

  • Nothing happens / the output stays empty. text is required — the tool waits until you provide it.
  • It is slow on very large input. Everything runs in your browser, so speed depends on your device. Very large inputs are best split up, or run through the API where the work happens on our servers.

Automating it

The same logic is available as a REST endpoint, so you can run it from a script, a CI job or your own app.

Bash
curl "https://api.toolsxpo.com/v1/line-joiner" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOOLSXPO_KEY"

It costs 1 credit per successful call. See the full endpoint reference, or try it in the playground.
