hi, greetings,

I am a newer for PERL. I want to concat two strings into one string,
like this,

$stringA='This is ';
$stringB='A concat example!';

I want to $stingC to be this: $stringC="This is A concat example!";

I searched the help, but did not find the right function, Can you guys
help me figure this out?

Thanks

BTW, it's Perl, not PERL.

You searched the wrong help - it's an operator, not a function.

The dot . operator is used for string concatenation, like this:

my $stringC = $stringA . $stringB;

Have a look at "perldoc perlop" for details.

Some ways to do it:
$stringC = $stringA . $stringB;
$stringC = "$stringA$stringB";
$stringC = join('', ($stringA, $stringB));

I'm sure there are more.

hi,

It woudl be something like:

print $stringA . $stringB;

You use the "." operator.

You should not be searching the help files for this.
You should be reading an "Introduction to Perl" tutorial.

This question and others imply that haven't been introduced
to the basics of Perl. What are you using as a reference?

$stringC = '';
substr( $stringC, length $stringC, 0, $_) for $stringA, $stringB;
