How do you join 2 strings in Symposium

[scrote]

Hello all,
I'm trying to join 2 strings together to allo me to use less varibales and hopefully keep my scipts tidy.

I've tried ASSIGN "ABC" TO cv_TEST_STRING and that works fine. I nned to be able to do something like:

ASSIGN cv_TEST_STRING + "ABC" TO cv_TEST_STRING

I can accomplish the final result using multiple sections and if/then and where statements but I am hoping to find something quicker.

Any ideas?

What was your other solution?

I don't believe strings can be joined like that; only numeric values like loop counters, etc.

Nortel4Matt is correct, you can not add up strings.

From the M1 Scripting guide:
Symbol: +
Description:
The Addition expression (plus sign) adds two values of the same type. This expression can be used with numerical constants, variables, and expressions that
return the data types Integer and Seconds.
