Hi,

Stupid question but didn't find answer yet: how can I add brackets to my variable,

$VariableWithoutBrackets = "1.0"
$VariableWithBrackets = '('$VariableWithoutBrackets')'

So that $VariableWithoutBrackets  = 1.0 and $VariableWithBrackets = (1.0)

?

Please advise.

Clarification - what do you mean by "brackets"? You've posted an example with parentheses.

$VariableWithBrackets ="($VariableWithoutBrackets)"

OR

$VariableWithBrackets ='('+$VariableWithoutBrackets+')'

...and those are parenthesis ;)

Try:

$var2 = "("+$var1+")"

wizend

Your method will work - with ' as well - but there is a more efficient way of doing this.

Removing the + operators and the inside " will expand the variable and create the new string.

$var2 = "($var1)"

$var2 = "($var1)"

Yep.

Add the $() sub-expression operator to the list of working suggestions.
