String concat()

syntax:

string.concat([string1, ...])

where:

stringN - A list of strings to append to the end of the current object.

 

return:

This method returns a string value (not a string object) consisting of the current object and any subsequent arguments appended to it.

 

description:

This method creates a new string whose contents are equal to the current object. Each argument is then converted to a string using global.ToString() and appended to the newly created string. This value is then returned. Note that the original object remains unaltered. The '+' operator performs the same function.

 

see:

Array concat()

 

example:

// The following line:

 

var proverb = "A rolling stone " + "gathers no moss."

 

// creates the variable proverb and

// assigns it the string

// "A rolling stone gathers no moss."

// If you try to concatenate a string with a number,

// the number is converted to a string.

 

 var newstring = 4 + "get it";

 

// This bit of code creates newstring as a string

// variable and assigns it the string

// "4get it".

 

// The use of the + operator is the standard way of // creating long strings in JavaScript.

// In ScriptEase, the + operator is optional.

// For example, the following:

 

var badJoke = "I was in front of an Italian "

    "restaurant waiting to get in when this guy "

    "came up and asked me, \"Why did the "

    "Italians lose the war?\" I told him I had "

    "no idea. \"Because they ordered ziti" 

    "instead of shells,\" he replied."

 

// creates a long string containing

// the entire bad joke.
