Hello, I am trying to do something quite simple, but my brain doesn't seem to want to give me the answer. I have 2 variables defined and I want to combine the variables with some text in a new string, like follows:

varA$ = "name"
varB$ = "occupation"

test$ = "Thank you (insert varA$ here). I see you work as a (insert varB$ here)."

I tried to do it like:

test$ = "Thank you " +varA$ "I see you work as a " +varB$

But I obviously am not doing it right.

The problem is you have you have to insert +'s behind the variables aswell, so you'd use

test$ = "Thank you " +varA$+ " I see you work as a " +varB$

instead.

I would be unstoppable if I could just get started...

you can also concatenate strings with semicolons, as well

PRINT "Hello, ";strName;". I see you work as a ";strOccupation
