[mapserver-users] Characters breaks variable substitution in TEXT parameter

Hello,

I want to use the TEXT parameter within a CLASS LABEL block to label
features with multiple fields.

CLASS
      LABEL
        TEXT "[frist] [second] [third]"
        COLOR 0 0 0
        FONT "arial"
        ...
      END
END

I found that any character in between the specified fields of the TEXT
keyword breaks the substitution of the fields.

This works
TEXT "[frist] [second] [third]"

Does not work (the output is: '2 - [second] - [third]')
TEXT "[frist] - [second] - [third]"

Does not work either (same out like above just with line breaks)
TEXT "[frist] - [second] - [third]"
WRAP '-'

Any idea how to concatenate text with substitutes from multiple field?
In the ideal case in combination with the WRAP parameter.

Thanks
Nicol
