If all of the +arguments are lists, this has the same effect as concatenating them +into a single list. +Arguments that are empty (after trimming) are ignored entirely. +It permits any number of arguments; +if no \fIarg\fRs are supplied, the result is an empty string. +.SH EXAMPLES +Although \fBconcat\fR will concatenate lists, flattening them in the process +(so giving the following interactive session): +.PP +.CS +\fI%\fR \fBconcat\fR a b {c d e} {f {g h}} +\fIa b c d e f {g h}\fR +.CE +.PP +it will also concatenate things that are not lists, as can be seen from this +session: +.PP +.CS +\fI%\fR \fBconcat\fR " a b {c " d " e} f" +\fIa b {c d e} f\fR +.CE +.PP +Note also that the concatenation does not remove spaces from the middle of +values, as can be seen here: +.PP +.CS +\fI%\fR \fBconcat\fR "a b c" { d e f } +\fIa b c d e f\fR +.CE +.PP +(i.e., there are three spaces between each of the \fBa\fR, the \fBb\fR and the +\fBc\fR). +.SH "SEE ALSO" +append(n), eval(n), join(n) +.SH KEYWORDS +concatenate, join, list +'\" Local Variables: +'\" mode: nroff +'\" End: |
