This shoudl work great. Thanks Sekar.

For the string Varible 'toAppend' this could also be equal to a salesforce field correct?

so:

String toAppend = b.name

Hi Leonard,

I have gone through your question. To append the text with the field value of any record.
Please try the code given below:-

Example:-

Account acc = [Select Name form Account Limit 1];
acc.name = acc.Name + 'Any Text';
update acc ;
 
Thanks and Regards,
