Problem with 3 variables.

[zentrix]

I have just started using perl, and i have to say i am impressed.

I am designing a webpage that generates messages to a large amount of customers, using the mail() function.

Almost everything is done but i have one final problem to complete my page.

When i generate my e-mail i want to include the contents of 3 files. There is no problem opening the files and getting the contents, but i want one variable containing all the output from the three files (variables).

like this:

$content1 (is now containing the contents of textfile1)
$content2 (ditto textfile2)
$content3 (ditto textfile3)

if i echo all the three variables to the page (seperately), everything works fine. My problem is that i want to pass all three values to a forth variable.

$everything = $content1,$content2,$content3

echo $everything (this should display the contents of all three files)

i have tried the example above, dont work
i have also tried && and + etc but i dont work.

Hopefully you guys understand what im after.

I usually program in vb, and i could include a vb example of what i want if that is easier..

Dim var1
Dim var2
Dim var3
Dim all

var1 = "test"
var2 = "test2"
var3 = "test3"

all = var1 & var2 & var3
response.write all

Would give the output:
testtest2test3 (which is what i want..)

This should be pretty basic, but afterall im in the newbie section lol 🙂

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

i dont know how similar perl is to php, but (this being a php board an' all) the cocatenate string should be:

$everything = $content1.$content2.$content3 ;

ps FYI && is the logical AND, used as in if x && y then..., and + is used for addition.

$all = "$var1 $var2 $3";
echo all;

Wasnt that hard afterall

but thx anyway m8!
