@TLWebdesign, Once again, thank you for reporting this issue.

While debugging it, we discovered an opportunity to refactor a part of the compiler, which allowed us to improve the overall implementation as well. The fix for this issue is included in the latest release v6.1.5-beta2.

Please try the beta release and let us know if the problem is resolved on your side. Your feedback will help us confirm the fix so that we can close this issue.

Thanks again for taking the time to report and test this.

i can confirm this fixed the issues. I have one suggestion tho. It looks like there is a hard coded "space" after the first field. Is that correct? I would not hard code a prefixed space after the first field. This hurts flexibility where i would not want a space.

See attached screenshot. There is a space before the 12 (house number).

So when I remove that space there this is the result:

When I choose View for Concatenate/Glue I get this:

I'll need more details with regards to your setup since I'm not getting this same issue.

no if you leave glue empty it still adds a space in between where i would expect there to be no space. My guess is if glue is empty it defaults to a space?

@TLWebdesign we've added a trim to the Output if nothing is set in the Concatenate/Glue Options:

$fieldArray[] = trim($fieldOutput);

and so the white-spaces is now correctly removed.

This change is available in JCB beta3.
