Trigger function with loop


Sam23

Question

I have a contact_address (CA) table that collects addresses for a contact. I would like to upload those addresses to a text field in the contact  table for convenience. 
The table trigger when a user inserts or updates a record in CA table is supposed to loop through the  addresses  and put those into a field in the contact table. 

In the loop shown, if a contact has 2 records in the CA table, the result is two copies of the same address, the inserted record. How do I get it to iterate through the CA records rather than repeating the same address twice? Thanks so much.

Thank you so much! Volomeister!
Now my issue is that the trigger executes before the data is saved. So the concantenation uses the un-updated contact_address record. This must be a common issue. What are best practices to solve this?
