Concatenate multiple values¤

Concatenates multiple values received for an input. If applied to multiple inputs, yields at most one value per input. Optionally removes duplicate values.

Examples¤

Notation: List of values are represented via square brackets. Example: [first, second] represents a list of two values “first” and “second”.

Without input values, no output is generated:

Returns: []

A single value is returned unchanged:

Input values:
1. [a]
Returns: [a]

All values of an input are concatenated into one value. The default glue is the empty string:

Input values:
1. [a, b]
Returns: [ab]

The glue string is inserted between the values:

Parameters
- glue: x
Input values:
1. [a, b]
Returns: [axb]

Each input is concatenated separately, yielding one value per input:

Input values:
1. [a, b]
2. [1, 2]
Returns: [ab, 12]

Escaped character sequences in the glue are replaced by the actual characters (newline, tab, backslash):

Parameters
- glue: \n\t\\
Input values: 1.
```
[a
    \b, c]
```
Returns:
```
[a
    \b
    \c]
```

Duplicates are removed, also when they span multiple values:

Parameters
- glue: ``
- removeDuplicates: true
Input values:
1. [Albert, Einstein, Albert Einstein]
Returns: [Albert Einstein]

With an empty glue, only whole duplicate values are removed:

Parameters
- removeDuplicates: true
Input values:
1. [a, b, a]
Returns: [ab]

Values consisting only of the glue collapse to an empty string:

Parameters
- glue: x
- removeDuplicates: true
Input values:
1. [x, x]
Returns: []

Parameter¤

Glue¤

No description

ID: glue
Datatype: string
Default Value: None

Remove duplicates¤

No description

ID: removeDuplicates
Datatype: boolean
Default Value: false

Advanced Parameter¤

None

concat — Concatenate multiple values collapses all values within each input into one string, preserving the boundary between inputs. Concatenate crosses that boundary — it takes one value from each input and produces all combinations, so the output grows with the number of inputs and values.
