append a constant string to every element in an array

[maxnoder1995]

subVI doesn't help me because Concatenage Strings has the feature to add an unlimited number of inputs.
Anyway, it would be nice if it was possible to choose whether I want to output an array or a single.

But then it would no longer be concatenation. "string concatenation is the operation of joining character strings end-to-end"

Concatenation - Wikipedia

[maxnoder1995]

It is 'concatenate' in a broader sense here to mean combining the constant with each element, whether by prepending or appending. The name reflects the operation's intent, even if it's not strictly about end-to-end concatenation.

Hi Max,

I can add 2 to each element of array without for loop.
why can't I append/prepend constant string to every element?

Because "adding" is something different than "concatenating" (or appending/prepending)!

Btw. the LabVIEW help is quite clear:

Concatenates input strings and 1D arrays of strings into a single output string.
