Hi Hans,
Thanks for that but I was actually after concatenating the
attribute 'name' rather than the attribute 'value'. I am not aware
how this can be done with the concatenator.
also, I only wanted to concatenate the attributes name if the
attribute value equalled a certain value.
The end result of a tester is a pass/fail on the whole object, where
what I am after is the object to continue through, but only keep the
attributes whose values pass.
I might just try a different approach to the problem.
Thanks
Gunter
