No problem - of course, I used & in my example - but when I'm doing
stuff like that I tend to use format:
put tFoo[format("wp_%s_%s", tMiddlePart, tSuffix)] into
tMiddlePartSuffixValue
It does the same job, but I find it more readable (as the structure of
the string can be seen immediately without having to wade through quotes
and ampersands :)
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
