Join Function

Assigns a value to a String variable by concatenating the elements of a String array.

Syntax

result = Join( sourceArray, [delimiter] )


Parameters

sourceArray

String

Source array whose elements will be used to created result.

delimiter (Optional)

String

Optional delimiter used in separating the elements of sourceArray when creating result. The default is one space.



Notes

Join takes a String array and concatenates the individual elements into a single String variable. You can pass an optional delimiter which will be inserted between the fields in the resulting String. If no delimiter is passed, a single space will be used as the delimiter.

The Split function performs the opposite function. It takes a String and creates an array by parsing the string into array elements using a specified delimiter.


Examples

This example concatenates a three-element array into the string

"Anthony,Aardvark,Accountant".

Dim myArray(2) as String
Dim s as String
myArray= Array("Anthony","Aardvark","Accountant")
//specifying the comma delimiter
s=Join(myArray,",") //creates "Anthony,Aardvark,Accountant"
