Hi Chuck ...it's been a while.

Download the action at: https://2manyrobots.com/actions/Selective-Prepend---Append.zip

I've taken you literally. You select a single source and destination field and then prepend or append the source field to the destination (only if the destination field is not empty). I didn't know how you wanted to separate the data so I used {space}-{space}. The separator is assigned on line 3.

The tricky part is that you have to indirectly assign and load the source and destination fields. To assign you use a Set Indirect statement and to load you need an escape sequences. There are far too many escape sequences for me to remember. I always take them off the context menu. In this case:

Insert Yate Escape Sequence>Field Values>Value of Field in Named Variable.

The action could easily be modified to present less fields; remember previous field, etc.

Thanks sir!!! Indeed It's been a while.. I'm still at it. I've written many simple scripts to get me along. I just couldn't figure this one out!! As I come across things, I find Yate can get it done with a little work, but after that, it's a click of a button. Nothing matches it.. Thanks for your help and the greatness of Yate.

Any time 🙂
