Just a quick question

[Anonymous]

Why doesn't this work? What else can I use instead of strcat? Is it the
quotes?

(setq (strcat "test" "1") 12)

Thanks,
Tom

Tom,

Perhaps not the correct answer:
(eval (read (strcat "(" "setq " "My" "Age" " " "37" ")")))
The above creates a var named MyAge and puts the value 37 in it.

In your case:
(eval (read (strcat "(" "setq " "test" "1" " " "12" ")")))
or (if strings are needed:
(eval (read (strcat "(" "setq " "test" "1" " " "\"12\"" ")")))
