Viewing post in Is it possible to build a string from substrings?

Use the old value of the string in the set string.

E.g.

: set_string var="tmp" {(tmp + " append text")}

Oh, I can do that? That's perfect. Thanks.

It turns out that I can use:

: set_string var = "name" text = "string";
: set_string var = "name" {("string")}

But I can't use:

: set_string var = "name" "string";
: set_string var = "name" text = {("string")}

I had tried using the last form and that's why it wasn't working.

I updated the document to show a second example of this (there was already one in there), but I made the second example more obvious.
