How to merge variables in a batch file?

[mf_2]

Hello,

I have the following batch file:

SET %one% = "test"

SET %two% = "program"

Now I want %three% to contain somethign like this:

SomeWordstestprogram

That means that I want to have a string, attach %one% and then %two% to it and then write it into %three%.

How is that possible?

I tried PHP syntax but that didn't work

[mormoloc]

SET %three% = "SomeWord" + %one% + %two% ???

Hello,

This worked:

SET three = "SomeWord" + %one% + %two%

However, when I want to see whats in %three%, I don't get anything.

echo %three%

gives me

"echo is turned ON"

or something like that (it's a German Windows, so I had to translate it).

What am I doing wrong?

i found THIS for you

i never worked with batch commands but looking at some examples, i think you should try like this:

SET one = string1

SET two = string2

SET three = "some other string " + one + " " + two

ECHO %three%

You've got the wrong syntax for SET.

The correct syntax is: SET variable=string

SET one=test
SET two=program
SET three=SomeWord%one%%two%

echo %one%
echo %two%
echo %three%

set three = someword%one%%two%

echo %three%

leave no spaces and exclude "+" between %one% and %two%.

Edit: dexter beat me to it.

Thanks for the link, this finally worked:

SET THREE = SomeWords%one%%two%

SET THREE

The second line is used instead of the echo command.

Good practice notes:

• Set your variables local to the running batch session
  
• To prevent the inclusion of unwanted whitespace in your variables, enclose them in parentheses (lines 3, 4, 5)
  

@Echo Off
Setlocal
(Set one=test)
(Set two=program)
(Set three=SomeWords%one%%two%)
Echo/%%three%%=%three%
