Re: concatenation of variables resulting in 2 seperate lines

What are these lines supposed to do:

$source="C:\shyam\dir1;

$sym="\";

These do not look like they are syntactically correct. Please reduce your program to a short, runnable program that still reproduces the problem.

Also note that backslashes in double quotes likely do not mean what you think they do. Double quotes interpret backslashes.

`those 2 are two variables needed for concatenation final my $source_mod should contain "C:\shyam\dir1\dir2" that is the $source is concatenated with two variables \ and dir2.I am + not sure how backslash can be used to concatenate as a variable` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

There is at least one quote missing in this line: `$source="C:\shyam\dir1;` [download] Again, please fix your program, or post the real program and not some vague interpretation.	[reply] [d/l]
