Under the hood the tool tokenizes your input on the chosen delimiter (auto-mode counts candidate occurrences and picks the most common), runs the filter pipeline (trim → drop-empty → dedupe → sort), then re-joins each item with the chosen wrapper, prefix, and suffix glued by the output delimiter. All work runs locally in your browser using `Array.split`, `Set`, and `Intl.Collator`, so no data ever leaves your machine.

1. Paste a list or upload a `.txt` / `.csv` file.
2. Pick (or auto-detect) the input separator — newline, comma, tab, semicolon, pipe, colon, or any custom string.
3. Choose an output separator and optionally wrap every item in quotes, brackets, parens, or a custom string. Add a prefix/suffix if needed.
4. Toggle the filters: trim whitespace, drop empty items, remove duplicates, sort A→Z or Z→A.
5. Copy the result or download it as a `.txt`.

• Convert an Excel column into a SQL `WHERE id IN (1, 2, 3)` clause with single quotes around each value.
• Turn a CSV row back into a multi-line shopping list.
• Build a JavaScript string array literal from a flat list of values.
• Dedupe and alphabetize a tag list before pasting it into a CMS.

• Auto-detect input delimiter so messy paste-ins just work.
• Many output delimiters: comma, newline, space, tab, semicolon, pipe, colon, or custom.
• Wrap items in single/double quotes, backticks, brackets, parens, braces, or a custom left/right pair — perfect for SQL `IN (...)` or array literals.
• Optional prefix and suffix applied to every item.
• Dedupe, drop-empty, trim-whitespace, and locale-aware sort (numeric-friendly).
• Live conversion: every change reflects instantly with no Convert button needed.

Comma-separation looks trivial but the messy reality (mixed delimiters, stray whitespace, accidental duplicates, locale-dependent sort order) is what makes a dedicated tool useful. Auto-detection picks the delimiter with the highest in-string count; the locale-aware collator ensures `Item 2` sorts before `Item 10` rather than after.
