CAT. - Concatenate Strings
Concatenate up to 25 Strings
Concatenation of many Strings can become very fast using the CAT.-Command.
Intention
While you can easily concatenate Variables like this:
VAR.$$MAA=$$A01$$A02$$A03
' And also
VAR.$$MAA+$$A04$$A05$$A06
For larger Strings and many Strings, the fastest way to do it is the new CAT.-Command.
CAT.$$MAA|$$A01|$$A02|$$A03|$$A04
It will speed up the concatenation of up to 25 long String-Variables significantly.
Do not use it for very short strings, as in this case the normal Concatenation is faster.
The new CAT. - Command is optimized for Speed. Here you can see the Speed advantage (4770 <> 962).
The new CAT. - Command is optimized for Speed. Yet this can only work out if you work with longer Strings. With short strings the result is rather poor, therefore use the conventional Concatenation.
Syntax
CAT.P1|P2[|P3 ... |P25]
Parameter Explanation
P1 - Main Variable, will also contain the Result.
P2 - Variable that will all be concatenated to P1
P3 - .. P25 - more Variables that will all be concatenated to P1
