StringRiffle

StringRiffle[{s1,s2,s3,}]

creates a string by concatenating all the si, with spaces inserted between them.

StringRiffle[{{s11,s12,},{s21,s22,},}]

creates a string by concatenating the sij, and inserting spaces at the lowest level and newlines at the higher level.

StringRiffle[list,sep]

inserts the separator sep between all elements in list.

StringRiffle[list,{"left","sep","right"}]

use left and right as delimiters after concatenation.

StringRiffle[list,sep1,sep2,]

inserts separator sepi between elements of list at level i.

Details

  • Any element of list that is not a string is converted to a string using TextString.
  • In StringRiffle[list], spaces are used as separators at the lowest level. At the next level up, newlines are used. At each higher level, successively more newlines are used.

Generalizations & Extensions  (1)

By default, higher-dimensional arrays use increasing numbers of newlines to separate levels:
