Join variable and string in scripts.

olesio · 30 January 2013, 12:34

Hello. If it is wrong subforum, please move this thread. I have a lame question. In workbench scripts a *N is used for new line in texts. But what char string is needed to join variable and string? For example I got...

Code:

set SomeVar "SomeThing"
echo $SomeVar HD

And I want to do echo with content of variable SomeVar and "HD" text without any spaces. So I want to got "SomeThingHD" text (without quotes) on screen. I tried to google some Amiga Dos manual with that info but there was no results. Thanks in advice for help. Traditinally, sorry for my bad English.

Have you tried:

Set SomeVar "Something"
Set NextVar "HD"
echo $SomeVar$NextVar

Btw: there is http://www.ppa.pl for polish amiga fans there.

@Dopuser & @thomas: thanks for answers and examples. @Dopuser: and yes, I know about ppa.pl forum. I look very seldom there. And I prefer comunity here. I know my English may be problem for others. But please understand me, this is not my mother language. And here we have for example StringRay for who we can always count. And at ppa they have agresive style in answers which I seen in many threads and his Excellency, named as current Pope, who want to ban anyone for anything. But this is my personal feeling not for discusion here.
