What Edit List Items Inline can do:
Text Replacement Operations:
The replace mode functions as a powerful find-and-replace tool that works across your entire list simultaneously. Enter any word, phrase, or character sequence in the find field, then specify what you want to replace it with. The tool handles multiple occurrences within the same line and processes every line that contains your target text, making bulk corrections quick and consistent.
Case sensitivity control gives you precise matching options. Turn it on when you need to distinguish between “Apple” and “apple”, or leave it off for broader matching that catches variations in capitalization. This flexibility helps when you’re working with inconsistently formatted lists or when you want to standardize capitalization across your content.
Content Addition Modes:
Prefix mode adds specified text to the beginning of every line, perfect for creating numbered lists, adding bullet points, or inserting category markers. You might add “Item: ” to create labeled lists, “- ” for bullet formatting, or any custom text that needs to appear before each entry consistently throughout your list.
Suffix mode appends text to the end of each line, useful for adding units of measurement, file extensions, punctuation marks, or any standardized ending that all your list items need. This mode works great for converting simple lists into formatted entries or adding metadata to existing content.
Advanced Wrapping Features:
Wrap mode surrounds each line with specified characters or text, using the find field for the opening text and the replace field for the closing text. This creates balanced formatting around your content, perfect for adding quotation marks, parentheses, HTML tags, or any paired formatting that needs to enclose your list items.
When you leave the replace field empty in wrap mode, the tool uses the find text for both opening and closing, creating symmetric wrapping. This works well for adding quotation marks, asterisks for emphasis, or any character that should appear on both sides of your content.
Bulk Processing Efficiency:
Live preview functionality shows changes immediately as you adjust settings, letting you experiment with different editing approaches without repeatedly clicking process buttons. Switch between modes, adjust text fields, or toggle options to see exactly how they affect your list before committing to the changes.
File import and export capabilities make it simple to process large lists or multiple documents. Load entire text files, apply your editing operations, then save the modified results for use in other applications. This workflow saves significant time when you’re making the same changes across multiple files or working with lists too large to handle manually.
The tool handles complex lists with varying line lengths and content types, maintaining the overall structure while applying consistent edits throughout. Whether you’re working with simple word lists, product catalogs, or detailed inventory items, the editing operations preserve your list organization while transforming the content according to your specifications.
