concat string
hey,

I want to concat whole bunch of strings together but somehow they don't turn out the way I want them to

a="HELLO "
b="WORLD "

c=$a$b

I was expecting c to be "HELLO WORLD " but it returns "HELLO WORLD ", why???

try this. Wherever you want to use $c use "$c" it will retain the spaces.



a="HELLO "
b="WORLD "
c="$a$b"
echo "$c"
