& Operator
Used to force string concatenation of two expressions.
Syntax
result = expression1 & expression2
The & operator syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| result | Required; any String or Variant variable. |
| expression1 | Required; any expression. |
| expression2 | Required; any expression. |
Remarks
If an expression is not a string, it is converted to a String variant. The data type of result is String if both expressions are string expressions; otherwise, result is a String variant. If both expressions are Null, result is Null. However, if only one expression is Null, that expression is treated as a zero-length string ("") when concatenated with the other expression. Any expression that is Empty is also treated as a zero-length string.
Example
This example uses the & operator to force string concatenation.
