Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns a string created by joining a number of substrings contained in an array.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualBasic
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualBasic (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function Join ( _
    SourceArray As Object(), _
    Delimiter As String _
) As String
public static string Join(
    Object[] SourceArray,
    string Delimiter
)

Parameters

  • SourceArray
    Type: array<System.Object[]
    Required. One-dimensional array containing substrings to be joined.
  • Delimiter
    Type: System.String
    Optional. Any string, used to separate the substrings in the returned string. If omitted, the space character (" ") is used. If Delimiter is a zero-length string ("") or Nothing, all items in the list are concatenated with no delimiters.

Return Value

Type: System.String
Returns a string created by joining a number of substrings contained in an array.

Remarks

There is a parity between the Join and Split functions. The Join function takes an array of strings and joins them using a delimiter string, to return a single string. The Split function takes a string and separates it at the delimiter, to return an array of strings. However, a key difference is that Join can concatenate strings with any delimiter string, Split can only separate strings using a single character delimiter.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Join function to create a list from several strings.

Dim TestItem() As String = {"Pickle", "Pineapple", "Papaya"}
' Returns "Pickle, Pineapple, Papaya"
Dim TestShoppingList As String = Join(TestItem, ", ")
