# `join` Function

-> **Note:** This page is about Terraform 0.12 and later. For Terraform 0.11 and
earlier, see
[0.11 Configuration Language: Interpolation Syntax](../../configuration-0-11/interpolation.html).

`join` produces a string by concatenating together all elements of a given
list of strings with the given delimiter.

```hcl
join(separator, list)
```

## Examples

```
> join(", ", ["foo", "bar", "baz"])
foo, bar, baz
> join(", ", ["foo"])
foo
```

  by separating a single string using a given delimiter.
