How do I combine two variables?

There are two ways to combine two or more variables in Label LIVE.

Using Design Objects

Label LIVE design objects such as Text and Barcode use a special variable format. Read our variable guide for more information.

Example: Names

Combined: {LAST}, {FIRST}

Result: Combined: Larson, Caylan

Example: Telephone

Telephone: +{COUNTRY_CODE} ({AREA_CODE}) {DIGITS}

Result: Telephone: +1 (345) 123-9876

Using Script Variables

Label LIVE designs can use small scripts to combine variables. Read our logic guide for more information. Note that this syntax is JavaScript.

Example: Names

const { variables } = context;
const { FIRST, LAST } = variables;
context.result = LAST + ', ' + FIRST;

Result: Larson, Caylan

Example: Telephone

const { variables } = context;
const { COUNTRY_CODE, AREA_CODE, DIGITS } = variables;
context.result = `+${COUNTRY_CODE} (${AREA_CODE}) ${DIGITS}`;

Result: +1 (345) 123-9876

Other Ways to Concatenate

You can mix and match these techniques. Of course, there are many other ways to combine, split and manipulate variables within Label LIVE's scripting environment. You can use arrays, regular expressions, split, join, replace... the limit is your imagination!
