  Hello!

  
  

  Is it possible to add a string value to string values?

  For example, Values[char].String = "name1".

  I want to add the values "name2", "name3", etc. to this and end up with vs=char:

  
  

  name1, name2, name3, etc. (in the same variable)

  
  

  Thanks

  Do you mean string concatenation, where you amend more text to the end of the existing text?

  seems to figure it out:
  
  local a = getObject("Values[name]")

  a.String = a.String .."name2"

  Aye, that's correct, but feel free to use shorthand instead of the old longhand getObject method.

  
  

  Values["name"].String = Values["name"].String .. "example"
