in reply to Re^5: concatenating multiple lines without using . operator
in thread concatenating multiple lines without using . operator

    I acknowledge your point - I'm still not clear about what the OP's requirements are - I was merely trying to show how she/he could slurp and concatenate.

                 I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it.
