Concatenate

Function: Concatenate

This function takes two pieces of text and joins them together, placing the second piece directly after the first. It's useful for combining different pieces of information into a single, longer text string.

Input

• Left Text: The first piece of text you want to combine. This is a required input.
• Right Text: The second piece of text you want to combine, which will be placed immediately after the "Left Text". This is a required input.

Output

• Result: This is the name of the variable where the newly combined text will be stored. For instance, if you name it FullName, the combined text will be available under the variable FullName for use in subsequent steps of your application.

Real-Life Examples

Here are some practical ways you can use the Concatenate function in your applications:

  • Right Text: "V2.0"
  • Result: "FinalProductCode"
• Result: The system creates a variable named FinalProductCode that holds the text "PROD-XYZ-V2.0".

Example 3: Assembling a Location String

If you have a city and a state in separate variables, you can combine them to form a complete location string.
