String Concatenation

To concatenate strings in CitectVBA, use the ampersand ( & ) concatenation operator between the strings. Multiple concatenations can occur in the same CitectVBA statement.

Dim strFirstName As String

Dim strLastName As String

Dim strFullName As String

Const strSpaceChar = " "

' note the space character between the quotes

strFirstName = "Colin"

strLastName = "Ramsden"

strFullName = strFirstName &strSpaceChar &strLastName 

' concatenates string values

The & concatenation operator does not perform arithmetic, and will convert variable data types to strings for concatenation. For instance, if a variant string and a variant number are concatenated, the result is a string. For more details of variant data types, see Variant Declaration and CitectVBA Data Types.
