Text Repeater

Repeating text the precise way

Repeating a piece of text by hand is tedious and easy to get wrong — miscount the copies, forget a separator, or fat-finger a paste. This tool does it exactly: pick what to repeat, how many times, and what goes between each copy, and it builds the result instantly with a running character count so you always know the size of what you are about to copy.

The separator is what makes it flexible

The separator field decides the shape of the output. Use \n to stack copies on their own lines, \t to lay them out in tab-separated columns, , to build a comma list, or an empty separator to fuse everything into one unbroken string. Because it accepts any literal text, you can even separate copies with a word or a short phrase.

The two backslash escapes are the ones worth memorising: \n is expanded to an actual newline and \t to a real tab before the copies are joined, so they are not pasted out literally as the characters \ and n. A worked example makes it concrete — repeating ab three times produces:

• separator \n → ab, then ab, then ab on three lines;
• separator \t → ab ab ab in one tabbed row;
• separator , → ab, ab, ab;
• empty separator → ababab.

Practical uses

• Placeholder and test data — generate many identical rows or records to test layouts, imports, and limits.
• Divider lines — repeat a single character like = or - to draw a separator in plain-text documents and READMEs.
• List building — turn one value into a comma- or newline-separated list of N copies.
• Padding — fill a field or file to a target length, using the live character count to hit the exact size.

Why the 10,000 cap

Repetition is bounded at 10,000 copies. This is a deliberate guard rail: an accidental extra zero could otherwise ask the browser to build a string with hundreds of millions of characters and lock up the tab. Ten thousand copies is more than enough for test data and formatting tasks while keeping the page snappy.

No trailing separator, no surprises

Separators sit only between copies, never after the final one, so the output drops cleanly into a list or config value without a stray comma or blank line at the end. Assembly is a single in-page loop, which is why the block appears the instant you change a field and why nothing you enter is ever sent away.
