Have text and a variable all in one line??

[lesliematt]

Hello all,

Is there a way to print in a text box both a string and a variable. I will give an exapmle...

    (setq qty_txt (getstring "\nEnter Quantity "))
    (command "text" "J" "MR" pt1 "0.187" "0" "Quantity= ")
    (command "text" "J" "ML" pt1 "0.187" "0" qty_txt)

This is a segment of a larger code that askes the user to input a quantity, and it gets stored as 'qty_txt'. I am wondering if there is a way to have the two command lines joined to look more like this....

    (setq qty_txt (getstring "\nEnter Quantity "))
    (command "text" "J" "C" pt1 "0.187" "0" "Quantity= " qty_txt)

This way both the printed 'Quantity= ' and the variable qty_txt will all be in one text box. Let me know.

try this

  (command "text" "J" "C" pt1 "0.187" "0" (strcat "Quantity= " qty_txt))
