NAME¶

concatenate-strings - (strings)

PURPOSE¶

Add strings using a plus ("+") sign.

SYNTAX¶

<string> + <string> [ + ... ]

DESCRIPTION¶

String variables and literals can produce a new string by concatenation, using plus ("+") clause.

Concatenation in this manner can be used in any statement where a string is expected.

Note that you can concatenate binary strings too, i.e. strings that do not end with a null character, with each binary string used in its true length. The result will in general be a binary string.

EXAMPLES¶

For instance, here we'll concatenate two string constants and a variable "var":

set-string var = "day"
set-string newstr = "nice " + var + " it is!"
print-out newstr new-line

The result will be "nice day it is!".

In the following case, directory (variable "dir") is concatenated with a forward slash ("/") and then file name (variable "file") to produce full path of a file to read:

read-file dir+"/"+file to content
