Concat

Description

Function Concat combines, or concatenates, all the specified parameters in order and returns the resultant string.

FUNCTION Concat(txt : DYNARRAY[] of CHAR): DYNARRAY[] of CHAR;
def vs.Concat(txt):
    return DYNARRAY[] of CHAR

Parameters

Name Type Description
txt DYNARRAY[] of CHAR

Remarks

_c_, 2015.05.23: You can use Concat to convert numbers to strings, but it uses exclusively a dot "." as symbol for the decimal marker, it outputs the number as seen from inside VS. See the table below for a list of routines formatting according to your system's settings.

Decimal marker symbol usage

Metric: ',' Example American '.' Example
100,123 100.123
Formatting routines Non formatting routines
Num2Str, Num2StrF, Angle2Str, Area2Str, Volume2Str
Num2Str(3, 100.123) { --> 100,123 on metric systems }
Num2Str(3, 100.123) { --> 100.123 on American systems }		 Concat
Concat(100.123) { --> 100.123 on any system }

Examples

VectorScript

AlrtDialog(Concat('A', 'sample', 'string'));

Python

vs.AlrtDialog(vs.Concat('A', 'sample', 'string'))

					GetPlugInString(3006), Num2Str(2, theta), Chr(13),
					GetPlugInString(3007), Num2StrF(D), Chr(13),
					GetPlugInString(3008), Num2StrF(T), Chr(13),
					GetPlugInString(3009), Num2StrF(L), Chr(13),
					GetPlugInString(3010), Num2StrF(theRadius));
