    Hi all,

    Also can you all please explain me the difference and the usage between *CAT, *BCAT & *TCAT.

    All these time i was searching about this thing and got fed up.
    If you can please give me a link to refer. That also would be great.

    Thanks in advance

    Rananga.

      *CAT or || Joins two strings "as is"
      *BCAT or |> Joins two strings with a single blank space between
      *TCAT or |< Joins two strings trimming first string

      'String One ' *CAT 'String Two ' Yields 'String One String Two '
      'String One ' *BCAT 'String Two ' Yields 'String One String Two '
      'String One ' *TCAT 'String Two ' Yields 'String OneString Two '

        Wow, spaces removed by HTML process...
        PHP Code:
        'String One     ' *CAT 'String Two     ' Yields 'String One     String Two '
        'String One     ' 
        *BCAT 'String Two     ' Yields 'String One String Two '
        'String One     ' 
        *TCAT 'String Two     ' Yields 'String OneString Two '
