How to Use the Delimiter List Generator
Choose a direction: "List → Delimited String" takes a multi-line list, one item per line, and joins it into a single line using your chosen delimiter — comma, pipe, semicolon, or a custom character — with an optional space after each delimiter. "Delimited String → List" does the reverse: paste a delimited string and split it back into one item per line. This covers comma-separated lists, pipe-separated lists, and semicolon-separated lists all in one tool.
Example
Entering red, green, and blue (one per line) with the Comma delimiter and "Add space after delimiter" on produces red, green, blue. Pasting that same string into Split mode with the same delimiter breaks it back into three separate lines.
Common Use Cases
- Turning a column of spreadsheet values into a comma-separated list for a CSV field or SQL query.
- Building a pipe-separated or semicolon-separated string for a config file or data import.
- Splitting a delimited string pasted from another tool back into one item per line for editing.
FAQs
- Can I use a delimiter that isn't comma, pipe, or semicolon? Yes — select Custom and type any character or short string, such as a tab or a double colon, to use as the delimiter.
- Does the Split direction handle extra spaces around items? Yes — each resulting item is trimmed of leading and trailing whitespace, so
red, green,bluesplits cleanly into three items regardless of inconsistent spacing. - What happens to empty lines or empty items? They're automatically filtered out in both directions, so blank lines in your list and empty items from consecutive delimiters don't appear in the result.
