# append(_:)

Append the contents of other, ignoring any spurious leading separators.

## Declaration

```swift
mutating func append(_ other: String)
```

## Discussion

Discussion A leading separator is spurious if self is non-empty. Example: var path: FilePath = "" path.append("/var/www/website") // "/var/www/website" path.append("static/assets") // "/var/www/website/static/assets" path.append("/main.css") // "/var/www/website/static/assets/main.css"
