Complete Guide to Text Concatenation
Text concatenation is the process of joining two or more separate pieces of text into a single, structured format. Our concatenate text tool makes it easy to combine lists, merge data columns, and create organized content by automatically pairing corresponding lines from two input sources with your choice of separator.
How to Use the Concatenate Text Tool
- 1
Enter Your First List
Paste your first set of data in the left text area. Each line will be treated as a separate item to be combined with the corresponding line from the second list.
- 2
Add Your Second List
Enter your second set of data in the second text area. The tool will automatically match lines from both lists and combine them using your chosen separator.
- 3
Choose Separator & Copy
Select your preferred separator (comma, dash, pipe, etc.) and instantly see the combined result. Copy the merged text for use in your projects.

Concatenate Text Tool - Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my lists have different numbers of lines?
The tool handles lists of different lengths gracefully. If one list is shorter, the remaining items from the longer list will be combined with empty values from the shorter list, ensuring no data is lost.
Can I use custom separators besides the preset options?
Yes! While we provide common separators like commas, dashes, and pipes, you can enter any custom separator in the separator field to format your text exactly as needed.
Is there a limit to how many lines I can concatenate?
There's no strict limit to the number of lines you can process. The tool is designed to handle large datasets efficiently, though very large files may take a moment to process.
Can I reverse the concatenation process?
This tool combines text, but you can use our Split Text tool to reverse the process by splitting concatenated text back into separate lists using the same separator.
