String Concatenation

[sangeet]

Hi,

Any idea on how to go about concatenating 2 strings into a new one in Robot? 

Thanks,

Sangeet

Hi Sangeet,

You can use catenate .

Name: Catenate
Source: BuiltIn <test library>
Arguments: [ *items ]

Catenates the given items together and returns the resulted string.
By default, items are catenated with spaces, but if the first item
contains the string 'SEPARATOR=<sep>', the separator '<sep>' is used.
Items are converted into strings when necessary.
Examples:
${str1} = Catenate Hello world
${str2} = Catenate SEPARATOR=--- Hello world
${str3} = Catenate SEPARATOR= Hello world
=>
- ${str1} = 'Hello world'
- ${str2} = 'Hello---world'
- ${str3} = 'Helloworld'

Thanks
Sourabh

Ugh

See the BuildIn library Catenate [1] keyword, that should do the trick

In addition to using the already proposed Catenate keyword, you can
also just use the strings together as a single argument for a keyword.
Assuming your have strings in variables ${str1} and ${str2}, you can
simply do something like this:

My Keyword ${str1} ${str2}

Hey thanks for the quick reply Sourabh.

However i'm facing a problem using the separator. I'm not sure why.

I've attached a snippet of the report below

KEYWORD: ${b} = BuiltIn.Catenate SEPARATOR=--, Hello World

Documentation:

Catenates the given items together and returns the resulted string.

Start / End / Elapsed:	20120412 12:25:11.762 / 20120412 12:25:11.762 / 00:00:00.000

12:25:11.762

INFO

${b} = Hello World

As you can see, I'm not getting Hello--World as shown in the example. :(

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks,

Sangeet

Hi Sangeet,

I guess you are not passing Hello and World as separate parameters.

You should use catenate like below example :



or how pekka suggested .



Thanks
