OneStream EmployeeAvoid "&&" in string operations?
Hi all
How can I avoid the ampersand in string operations? I need to concatenate a pov for a calculation, but with all the ampersands, it looks complicated:
"A#" & accountName & ":F#" & flowName ...
If you use the $" you can avoid all ampersands and ease the reading of calculation strings.
instead of
"A#" & accountName & ":F#" & flowName & ":UD2#" & ud2Name & ":UD4#" & ud4Name
you can simply write
$"A#{accountName}:F#{flowName}:UD2#{ud2Name}:UD4#{ud4Name}"

OneStream EmployeeWhen you create a string, and require Carriage Returns be inserted for formatting purposes (e.g. creating an email) you can include .net newlines.
Dim messageBody As String = $"Type - {SRType} {vbCrLf}Description - {SRDescription}"
vbCrLf or environment.newline both will work, and will create a carriage return into the message body.
