Adding Strings with Lua

[raytrace]

In MMF2 you can add strings simply by placing an add sign inbetween. e.g. "Hello" + "World" = "HelloWorld"

When setting a public variable you can enter a string but you cannot add multiple strings or other variables.

How do you add strings with Lua?

(please forgive me if I am being stupid)

use . so "my string"."other string"

a single dot is php In lua it's double dots (..)
"string"..value.."more string"

:P that's why it is important to look that stuff up ^^. I knew it was one of those two.

I tried using "." but it just gave me the error message "attempt to call a string value" e.g.

run script: a1="a"."b"

any help?

2) Does anyone know when setting a variable (string) how to stop the "/" from being removed?

EDIT: Don't Worry, I discovered "C:\folder1/folder2/folder3\file" is an exceptable means of writing a location

You can also try \\ instead of \.
