Join Function
Assigns a value to a String variable by concatenating the elements of a String array.
Syntax
result = Join( sourceArray, [delimiter] )
Parameters | ||
sourceArray |
Source array whose elements will be used to created result. |
|
delimiter (Optional) |
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 s as String
myArray= Array("Anthony","Aardvark","Accountant")
//specifying the comma delimiter
s=Join(myArray,",") //creates "Anthony,Aardvark,Accountant"
