Hi,

I am pretty new to this group.

I hope one of the Mathcad experts can help me.

say I have two variables with text as output

a1 = "text1"

a2 = " text2"

How can I decalre these two text variables side by side in programming

a3 = "text1" "text2" if ....

this doesnt work. is there any specific syntax to declare a1 and a2 side by side

Cheers

Look in help, the index, under string functions.

You're looking for "concat"

Hello!

You need to use the built-in function "if":

Not sure I understand what you're trying to do.

Thanks for the quick response

But that is not what I am looking for

I need an output with two text variables side-by side

say a1= "Hello"

a2 = "I am fine"

then the output should be

a3= Hello- I am fine

not just "Hello" or either "I am fine". Want both variables.

I guess there must be some syntax to declare the text variables side by side
