Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I have the next problem, i am triying to concatenate two variables with white spaces at the cornes, but the shell deletes them.

For example i have the next code:

A="Hello "
B="Hello"

echo $A$B

output: Hello Hello

You can see only one space between the words, and i put 5 space after the first "Hello".

How can i keep this spaces for cancatenate two words?

Thanks!

P.D. Sorry for my english, it is very bad.

Code:

 
A="Hello      "
B="Hello"
echo "${A}${B}"
Hello      Hello

This page did to me the same problem ahaha white example code. I will put it again. Imagine the "_" is a simple space.

Code:

A="Hello     "
B="Hello"

echo $A$B

output:

Code:

Hello Hello

Please use code tags when posting data and code samples!

Code:

A="Hello     "
B="Hello"
echo "$A$B"

In echo, to preserve white-space contained in the variable value, you need to enclose the variable evaluation in double quotes. Didn't you read what rdrtx1 suggested?

The problem is solved. Thank's everyone.
