Hi @ENTHU 

it would be useful if you gave a bit of context such as a little script of table. otherwise try this:

str1 = "one";
str2 = "two";
str3 = "three";
 
comb = Concat Items({str1, str2, str3}, " ");

I am not sure exactly what you are asking for, but the code below, takes 2 lists and adds a blank entry between the concatenation of the two lists.

a={"one","two"};
b={"three","four"};
c=a|| {" "} || b;

Here's a simple solution:

list1 = {"abc"};
list2 = {"def"};
list3 = {"ghi"};
concat_string = list1[1] || " " || list2[1] || " " || list3[1];
show(concat_string);

Result from the log:

concat_string = "abc def ghi";
