how to merge two variable in one variable with space between them?
Dear all

I had two separate variable. Now i want to make them merge into one new variable with space between them. Kindly suggest me.

var1=dec 15
var2=10

i want var3=dec 15 10


My main aim is as below:

op of date command:
>date
>Sat Dec 15 10:17:35 IST 2007

i want only Dec 15 10: in new variable.

Suggest me possible ways.

Thanks in advance

regards
jaydeep
