Returns a string created by joining a number of substrings contained in an array.
public static string? Join (object?[] SourceArray, string? Delimiter = " ");public static string Join (object[] SourceArray, string Delimiter = " ");static member Join : obj[] * string -> stringPublic Function Join (SourceArray As Object(), Optional Delimiter As String = " ") As StringParameters
- SourceArray
- Object[]
Required. One-dimensional array containing substrings to be joined.
- Delimiter
- String
Optional. Any string, used to separate the substrings in the returned string. If omitted, the space character (" ") is used. If Delimiter is a zero-length string ("") or Nothing, all items in the list are concatenated with no delimiters.
Returns
A string created by joining a number of substrings contained in an array.
Exceptions
SourceArray is not one dimensional.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the Join function to create a list from several strings.
Dim testItem() As String = {"Pickle", "Pineapple", "Papaya"}
' Returns "Pickle, Pineapple, Papaya"
Dim testShoppingList As String = Join(testItem, ", ")
Remarks
There is a parity between the Join and Split functions. The Join function takes an array of strings and joins them using a delimiter string, to return a single string. The Split function takes a string and separates it at the delimiter, to return an array of strings. However, a key difference is that Join can concatenate strings with any delimiter string, Split can only separate strings using a single character delimiter.
