Using and Combining Strings

[MiG3]

I'm new to GE and am having a problem with strings.

I've gone

Script Editor -> Variables -> Add -> Name: YourName; Type: String

and then I try to initiate the variable: YourName="Kieran"

But when I try to exit it says its an incompatible type, etc etc.

In addition, I want to be able to say text= "You are "+YourName+"."

I'm pretty sure thats not how you would say it, but I'd like to be able to end up with something like that. How can you do that?

To assign a string to a variable use this command:
strcpy(YourName, "Kieran");

To concatenate strings use):
strcat(string1, YourName);

Will make the string1 = string1 + YourName

Perhaps you should consider including some C++ string class functionality in your next release.
