Appending to a text variable

Georges Duverger

I'm constructing a text variable by appending a mix of static texts and variables to it. I'm using the `sprintf` filter to do so. It works well but it gets a little cumbersome after a few variables. Is there a better (more flexible) way to achieve this use case?

There is an easier way by composing functions! I made a quick vid in the hope that showing might help: https://www.loom.com/share/d9f201cd36964100b7585593a57878e9

 I just watched the video. This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing, Ray.

 Depending on your use case, that object I 'build' in the video could instead just be a record from the database. That would save you from pulling out into a bunch of scalar (simple text) fields just to rebuild again. Either way, hope this helps save you some work!
