Repeat any text a specified number of times with an optional separator.

How it works

This tool repeats a piece of text a specified number of times, joining each repetition with an optional separator character or string. Enter the text you want repeated, how many times to repeat it, and an optional separator (such as a newline, comma, or space) to place between each repetition.

Common uses include generating test data (repeated placeholder text), creating filler content for UI mockups, building lists of repeated tokens for parser testing, and constructing simple patterns or sequences for scripts.

If you leave the Separator field blank, repetitions are concatenated directly with no gap between them. Using a newline as the separator produces each repetition on its own line, useful for generating line-separated test inputs.

Worked example

Generate a comma-separated list of test values

  1. Enter Text: 'item'.
  2. Set Repeat: 5.
  3. Set Separator: ', '.
  4. Read the output.

item, item, item, item, item

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Forgetting that a blank separator concatenates repetitions with no gap, which may merge words unexpectedly.
  • Setting a very high repeat count and generating output too large for the browser clipboard to handle efficiently.
  • Using this to generate Lorem Ipsum-style filler when a dedicated Lorem Ipsum generator would give more realistic paragraph structure.

Key terms

Separator
A character or string inserted between each repeated unit of text.
Concatenation

Frequently asked questions
