I am not blaming you John - I know you were trying to fix this - however,
due to non plain text replies and top posting from various posters, it
appears that I said that.  What I said was the following:

"No it is not.  1{2 would concatenate the two values together and remove all
spaces trailing the 1 and all spaces preceding the 2.  Likewise 1<2
concatenates and removes all spaces except for 1.  What you want is the &
character - this concatenates and retains the spaces. "
