csh script -> compose string ..Stupid question

[diSangro]

Hello community,

I have a stupid question...of course Im not expert of csh scripting
I couldn't get how to compose a string in a csh script.

suppose I have:

set STR1 = "text1"
set STR2 = "text2"

How to compose a string which has STR1 appended to STR2 ?

I tried:

set STR3=`echo $STR1$STR2`

its not workin...syntax error...but typing

echo $STR1$STR2

produces the desired output on csh cmd line...why?
Thankz in advance

The correct way is:

set STR3 = $STR1$STR2

Try this,

#!/bin/csh

set a = 123
set b = abc
set c = `printf "%s%s" $a $b`
echo $c
