Text Repeater

• Text to repeat: anything from one character to several paragraphs. It is copied exactly, including any spaces or line breaks at its start or end.
• Repeat count: how many copies you want. It starts at 5.
• Separator: what goes between copies. It starts as \n, which means a new line. Type \t for a tab, or anything else you like, such as a comma and a space.

The separator only goes between copies, never after the last one. With Hi, a count of 3 and the separator , , you get Hi, Hi, Hi, with no trailing comma.

The last row shows a common slip. If you want spaces between copies, put the space in the separator box, not after your text, or the result will end with an extra space.

When the text itself spans several lines and the separator is something short, the separator lands between the end of one copy and the start of the next, on the same line.

• Testing length limits. Repeat x 500 times with an empty separator to get exactly 500 characters, then paste it into a form to see where it cuts off.
• Placeholder rows. Repeat a template line, such as a CSV row, to fill a test file quickly.
• Spreadsheet setup. A tab separator spreads copies across columns, a new line puts them down a column.
• Practice sheets. Repeat a word or sentence for handwriting or typing drills.

A count of 0, a negative number or an empty count box gives an empty result. Decimals are cut down to a whole number, so 2.7 gives 2 copies. An empty text box also gives nothing, whatever the count.

The count box is meant for values up to 10,000, and the whole result is built in your browser. Large counts of long text add up fast: hello world repeated 10,000 times with a space separator is 119,999 characters, which may slow the page down or be too long for wherever you plan to paste it.
