Question

I have a string which I formatted and then I split it using | character. Then the data between each |I am inserting into a list each with a unique index. Now I am trying to join two elements in that list so that they can be in one index.

Example

`List FruitSalad 

fruit.add("Apple")
fruit.add("Orange")
fruit.add("Tomatoes")
fruit.add("bananas")
fruit.add("Cucumber")

TextBox1.Text = fruit(0)
TextBox2.Text = fruit(1)
TextBox3.Text = fruit(3)

Typically Apple would have index(0) and Orange and bananas would have the index(1) and index(2) respectively. The thing is I want to join or merge index(2) with index(1) so that both elements would be merged in one index. e.g. index(1) has Apple and Orange.

How could I write it in terms of assigning it to a TextBox.Text, what would be the correct format for TextBox.Text = fruit(?). I tried fruit.Join(2)(1) and String.Join(result(2)(1).ToArray) but that didn’t work. Any suggestions? Regards.

Answer 1

Why not concatenate the two

TextBox1.Text = fruits(1) & " and " & fruits(2)

or

TextBox1.Text = String.Format("{0} and {1}", fruits(1), fruits(2))
