ksh script variable problem

Comment:

I'm trying to combine two variables with an underscore in between and assign it to a new variable and I don't remember how to do it. Here's the script: #!/bin/ksh #Display the date and hostname DATEFIELD=$(date +%m%d%y) print -n "Input hostname: "; read HOSTNAME; print "" print $DATEFIELD print $HOSTNAME PATHNAME=$($HOSTNAME && _ && $DATE) print -n $PATHNAME exit 0 Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

Is this what you are asking for: #!/bin/ksh #Display the date and hostname DATEFIELD=$(date +%m%d%y) print -n "Input hostname: "; read HOSTNAME; print "" print $DATEFIELD print $HOSTNAME # double quotes are probably optional PATHNAME="${HOSTNAME}_${DATEFIELD}" echo $PATHNAME exit 0
