Possible to Combine Text from Two Fields into One?

[James]

Hi all,

is that possible to combine the text of two separate fields into one?
or may be combine two variables into one?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,
James

James,

Perhaps a bit more detail would help. Do you want to do a one-time action where textual contents of two fields (like "first_name" and "last_name") are concatenated to populate a third field (like "whole name"), which will then become the field you use instead of those first two? (I assume you want to combine text strings, rather than to add numbers together)

Alternately: do you want a way to have something like a new field that draws dynamically from two other fields (so that you can continue to update "first_name" and see the result in the "whole_name" field (or template)?)

The best solution depends on what you want to accomplish, and what your workflow might be like going forward. (For many purposes, you could just keep the fields distinct at the granular level, and just combine them in any display or output situation that requires them to be seen together.)

Hi Springer,

I would like to combine the two strings (first_name and last_name) and concatenated to populate a third field (like "whole name").

Is there anyway to do that either using Set Var or any method?
