How to run locally

1. Open this folder in VS Code.

4. Run Text Formatter: Open Panel from Command Palette.
5. Use the buttons to generate output.

Commands

• Text Formatter: Open Panel
• Text Formatter: Comma Output
• Text Formatter: Comma + Quote Output
• Text Formatter: SQL IN Clause Output
• Text Formatter: JSON Array Output
• Text Formatter: Find Duplicates

Notes

• If text is selected, only selected text is used.
• If nothing is selected, the full active file content is used.
• Source file is not modified.
• Output opens in a separate editor window/panel.
• If input is only digits and its length is divisible by 3, it splits every 3 digits. Example: 123124125 becomes 123, 124, 125.
• Find Duplicates: finds duplicate lines (after trimming spaces), shows each duplicate with its count sorted highest first. If input exceeds 1MB in the panel, use the command palette version instead.
