Concatenation Of Variables
Hi,
when I echo the values of two variables that have been set for example:
export FRUIT1=ORANGE
export FRUIT2=APPLE
echo $FRUIT1
ORANGE
echo $FRUIT2
APPLE
as expected but when I echo the following:
echo ${FRUIT1}AND{$FRUIT2}
I was expecting to get:
ORANGEANDAPPLE
but instead am getting:
APPLEEAND
So my FRUIT1 value is being partly overwritten instead. Why would this occur?
The environment I am using is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 with the Korn shell (apologies if I need to give more specifics of my environment as I am not currently at work).
Regards,
Jaxim
