+`+` can be used when there is a need to concatenate strings, for instance : `"txtContent": "=[$column1] + ' ' + [$column2] + 'some other text"`
+
+`indexOf` Since the operator `length` doesnt work for string value types ( it will return 1 or 0 ), `indexOf` can serve us as a nice workaround to get the length of a string, for instance: `indexOf([$column1] + '^', '^')`. We will use `'^'` or any other character we may want to use to find out the end of the string.
