XML String-join()

The string-join() function is used to join a sequence of strings into a single string by placing a separator between each string.

Syntax

The syntax for the string-join() function is:

string-join(sequence, separator)

Example

Suppose we have a sequence of strings:

let $colors := ('red', 'green', 'blue')

We can use string-join() to join these strings with a comma and a space separator:

string-join($colors, ', ')

Output

The output of the above example will be:

'red, green, blue'

Explanation

The string-join() function takes two arguments - a sequence of strings and a separator. It joins the strings in the sequence together into a single string, separating each string with the provided separator.

In the example above, the strings 'red', 'green', and 'blue' are joined together with a comma and a space separator.

Use

The string-join() function is useful when working with sequences of strings that need to be combined into a single string. This can be useful when formatting output or constructing URLs, among other things.

Important Points

• The sequence argument must be a sequence of strings.
• The separator argument must be a string.

Summary

The string-join() function is used to join a sequence of strings into a single string by placing a separator between each string. It takes two arguments - a sequence of strings and a separator - and returns a single string that has each element of the sequence separated by the given separator. This function can be used for formatting output or constructing URLs, among other things.
