How to Concatenate a String using VBScript

How to Concatenate a String Value in VBScript

To concatenate string values using VBScript we use the ampersand (&) character to piece together our composite string value.

Code Example:

Srting1 = "Word 1"
String2 = "Word 2"
String3 = String1 & String2
or 
String3 = "Word 1" & "Word 2"
msgbox(String3)

The output value would be “Word 1 Word 2”.

If you’re more familiar with JavaScript, you might be used to concatenating strings using the plus character (+).

In VBScript you can only use the + operator on numeric values.
