*CONCAT_LINES Function

Syntax

Result_List as C = *CONCAT_LINES(C lines1[,C Lines2[...]])

Arguments

Result_List: The CR-LF delimited list produced by *CONCAT_LINES().
lines1: The character string that will receive the addition.
Lines2: The character string to add to Line1. Optional. More character strings to add to Line1.

Description

Appends lines (adding needed CR-LFs) eliminates blank lines.

Discussion

The *CONCAT_LINES() appends lines to list, adding CR-LF delimiters, and eliminating blank lines. *CONCAT_LINES() is much faster than string addition.

Example

dim ff as C
ff = *concat_lines(ff, "line1")
ff = *concat_lines(ff, "line2")
ff = *concat_lines(ff, "")
ff = *concat_lines(ff, "line4")
? ff
= line1
line2
line4
