Adding a space between to literals in a string

[NewsArchive]

I issue set variable %XXX% to 'ABCDEF'. I want to append '999' to it
with a space in between. The '999' is coming from an .ini file so I
cannot set it to ' 999' in the .ini file. My resulting 'XXX' string
should be 'ABCDEF 999'. Any ideas or please point me in the right
direction.

TIA

Hi Darrell,

NumberString = getini( blah, blah, blah )
ResultString = clip( %XXX% ) &' '& NumberString

Hi Dee

This is a long standing issue but I think it can be managed like this...

set variable %XXX% to 'ABCDE'
set variable %XXX% to 'F ' & '999' [Append to data]

Thanks Friedrich. I knew it was on your ToDo list but had not noticed the new feature.
Great job...
