How do I join multiple words in LiveCode

Question

As an example, I have 3 fields within my LiveCode application. Field "firstName", field "lastName" and field "both".

I have previously used the following

 put field "firstName" into field "both"
 put field "lastName" after field "both"

and this does join them, but with no space in-between the names.

Is there alternative methods to do this and include a space between the names?

Answer 1

Just use a && to add a space between the 2 values.

 put field "firstName" && field "lastName" into field "both"

Btw. your sample code will not work with "and" anyway. You would get the value "false" in the field "both".
