Join?

[JohnStraumannPA]

Hello all:

I am trying to use the JOIN function to create a string from 2 variables and a string, and tried these lines:

% %SearchURL% + %CurrentItem% + "%20test&origin=GLOBAL_SEARCHH_HEADER&sid=Myr"%

 and

%SearchURL% + %CurrentItem% + "%20RPA&origin=GLOBAL_SEARCHH_HEADER&sid=Myr"

but I am getting a syntax error. Can anyone offer any tips? Thanks!

Hey Mate @JohnStraumannPA 

You mentioned you want to join two strings - IF yes, use the concat() funtion.

concat(outputs('Compose_2'),outputs('Compose_3'))

Join is used for Joining values in an array with a value - for details see -https://d365demystified.com/2021/09/09/join-action-in-data-operations-in-power-automate/

Thanks for your response. I am using the Desktop app and do not see the concat function?

Hey @JohnStraumannPA 

You can use + operator to concat -

Have a look at -  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/variable-manipulation#basic-arithmetic

Note in set variable % symbols are the start and end- %VarDollar + VarThis% 

Option 2 - concatenate them with a space by typing %NewVar% %NewVar2%
