Is there a way to join two string values into one variable similar to what
happens in javascript? I have a strArg variable which is a number 1-12. I
want to do the following:

projNumber = "Project" + strArg

Is there a way to do this in VBScript?

Thanks for the help,

David Brown

If its a string value then you will need to convert it

MyStr = "12"    'This is the string variable
MyStrToInt = CInt(MyStr)

'Now your other value is lets say 10
OtherVal = 10

'To Add them together you would

result = MyStrToInt + OtherVal

MsgBox result

The same - "+", or (better) - "&"

Oops. Missed the point that this was about NUMBER. (as explained in
another response here:-( Sorry. Leonid.

projNumber = "Project" & strArg

The proper way to concatenate strings is with the & operator.  In some cases + will work and in some
cases it will fail, in particular when one of the operands is a number and it becomes ambiguous as
to whether concatenation or addition was intended.  With & it's never ambiguous - even numbers will
be coerced to strings and concatenated.

If strArg is a Number(i.e.strArg=5)  then:

 projNumber = "Project" + Cstr(strArg)
