Concatenation Operators in VBScript
VBScript supports the following Concatenation operators −
Assume variable A holds 5 and variable B holds 10 then −
Operator | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
+ | Adds two Values as Variable Values are Numeric | A + B will give 15 |
& | Concatenates two Values | A & B will give 510 |
Example
Try the following example to understand the Concatenation operator available in VBScript −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <script language = "vbscript" type = "text/vbscript"> Dim a : a = 5 Dim b : b = 10 Dim c c = a+b Document.write ("Concatenated value:1 is " &c) 'Numeric addition Document.write ("<br></br>") 'Inserting a Line Break for readability c = a&b Document.write ("Concatenated value:2 is " &c) 'Concatenate two numbers Document.write ("<br></br>") 'Inserting a Line Break for readability </script> </body> </html>
When you save it as .html and execute it in Internet Explorer, then the above script will produce the following result −
Concatenated value:1 is 15 Concatenated value:2 is 510
Concatenation can also be used for concatenating two strings. Assume variable A="Microsoft" and variable B="VBScript" then −
Operator | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
+ | Concatenates two Values | A + B will give MicrosoftVBScript |
& | Concatenates two Values | A & B will give MicrosoftVBScript |
Example
Try the following example to understand the Concatenation operator available in VBScript −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <script language = "vbscript" type = "text/vbscript"> Dim a : a = "Microsoft" Dim b : b = "VBScript" Dim c c = a+b Document.write ("Concatenated value:1 is " &c) 'Numeric addition Document.write ("<br></br>") 'Inserting a Line Break for readability c = a&b Document.write ("Concatenated value:2 is " &c) 'Concatenate two numbers Document.write ("<br></br>") 'Inserting a Line Break for readability </script> </body> </html>
When you save it as .html and execute it in Internet Explorer, then the above script will produce the following result −
Concatenated value:1 is MicrosoftVBScript Concatenated value:2 is MicrosoftVBScript
