The ampersand (&) is a regular operator that will concatenate data of
various types into a string:
q = "abc" & var1 & 123
The semicolon (;) appears to be part of a special syntax used with
Debug.Print that has a similar, but not identical, function:
Debug.Print "abc"; var1; 123
It appears that the ";" also converts any data into a string, but for
numeric data, it also adds a leading space and, except for the first
value, a delimiting space.
Debug.Print 123; 123; 123
results in:
123 123 123
where there is 1 space before the first value and 2 between subsequent
values.
Are there any other rules for this? Is it documented anywhere? (ha-ha)
Thanks
