Line Repeater

The line repeater repeats one line, or a whole block of lines, up to 50,000 times, and numbers each repeat the way you choose: 1. 2. 3., 1) 2) 3), bullets, dashes, your own prefix, or a template where the number sits anywhere inside the line. It is a text repeater with numbers, built for the boring office jobs: attendance sheets, numbered forms, checklists and rows of test data. Type your line, pick a count and a prefix style, then copy or download the result.

Roll No 1 to 60 without typing 60 lines

This is the job the {n} template was made for. Turn on the template option and write the line with {n} wherever the number should go. Every repeat gets the next number dropped into that spot.

Template Roll No {n}: with a count of 60 gives:

Roll No 1:
Roll No 2:
Roll No 3:
...
Roll No 60:

Print it, or paste it into a sheet, and you have a blank attendance register for a class of 60. The number does not have to be at the start, which is the whole point. A second example, for someone making test rows:

Template: Customer {n} - pending
Count: 3

Customer 1 - pending
Customer 2 - pending
Customer 3 - pending

Plain prefixes can only put the number in front. The template lets it sit in the middle or at the end, like Question {n}, Seat {n} - Name: ________ or Table {n}.

The prefix styles, compared

When the number (or mark) belongs at the start of the line, a prefix style is quicker than a template. Here is the line Check fire extinguisher repeated 3 times in each style:

For the numbered styles there is also a start number. If page one of your question paper ended at 20, set the start to 21 with the 1. 2. 3. style and a count of 5:

21. ____________________
22. ____________________
23. ____________________
24. ____________________
25. ____________________

Repeating a block of lines, not just one

The text box takes several lines, and the whole block is repeated as a unit. That is useful for forms where each entry has more than one field. Say you need space for 10 visitors, each with a name, address and phone line. Type this three-line block:

Name: ____________
Address: ____________
Phone: ____________

Set the count to 10, prefix to none, and switch on blank line between each repeat. The first two of the ten blocks look like this:

Name: ____________
Address: ____________
Phone: ____________

Name: ____________
Address: ____________
Phone: ____________

Without the blank line option, the blocks run straight into each other, which is harder to read on paper but sometimes what you want for data.

Pasting repeated lines into Excel or Google Sheets

When you paste text into a spreadsheet, every line becomes its own row. That makes the line repeater a quick way to fill a column:

• Click cell A1, paste, and Roll No 1: to Roll No 60: fill A1 to A60.
• With the blank line option on, every other row will be empty. That is great for printing, awkward for sorting, so turn it off for spreadsheet work.
• A repeated three-line block puts each field in its own row, not side by side in columns. If you need columns, a spreadsheet's fill handle may suit you better.
• Numbered prefixes like 1. stay as part of the text in the cell. If you want the numbers in a column of their own, make them with the number list generator and paste them next to your text.

Other things people build with it

• Checklist templates: a custom prefix of [ ] and a block of daily tasks, repeated for 30 days.
• Code and test rows: a template like test_user_{n} for sample usernames, or a fixed line repeated to fill a mock file.
• Handwriting or lines practice: one sentence repeated 50 times with numbers so a student can track how many are done.
• Event lists: Seat {n} rows for a hall, ready for names.

A tip for checklists: keep each repeated block short. A daily checklist of five tasks repeated 30 times is 150 lines, which prints neatly on a few pages. Twenty tasks repeated 30 times is 600 lines, and nobody ticks boxes on page twelve. If the list keeps growing, it may be time for a proper task app rather than a printout.

The count goes up to 50,000, which is more than any register needs, but handy for test files. For very long output, the download .txt button saves a file instead of pushing everything through the clipboard.

When another tool fits better

• If you just want a sentence copied many times with no numbering at all, especially in huge amounts, the repeat text generator has a size meter and can split output into parts.
• If your list already exists and you want it in order, the text sorter is what you need, not this.
• If you pasted a list and now have repeats you did not want, the duplicate line remover cleans them out.
• The line repeater copies your text exactly. It cannot fill in different names or values on each line; for that, a spreadsheet or mail merge is the honest answer.
