I've just started learning VB. I can't get how to declare string variables in VB. I need some help.

[PsychoCoder]

It's rather simple

Dim SomeVariable As String

What exactly were your looking for?

[ILoveSushi]

Being able to do both either a string variable or a numeric veriable.

[PsychoCoder]

Declaring an integer variable is the same as a string variable

Dim SomeVariable As String

Dim AnotherVariable As Integer

[ILoveSushi]

Awesome. Thank you.

Everytime I try to run this, it gives me an error on line 3, char 13 with an error message: Expected end of statement. I'm using Notepad.

'problem1.vbs'

Dim aString As String = "Hello"
Dim bString as String = "World"

' Displays "HelloWorld." '
MsgBox(aString & bString)

[PsychoCoder]

Declaring a variable and setting it are two different tasks. Try this

Dim aString As String
Dim bString as String

Set aString = "Hellp"
Set bString = "World"

' Displays "HelloWorld." '
MsgBox(aString & bString)

[ILoveSushi]

Still giving me the same error.

'problem1.vbs'

Dim aString As String
Dim bString As String

Set aString = "Hello"
Set bString = "World"

' Displays "HelloWorld." '
MsgBox(aString & bString)

Says the problem is on line 3, character 13 with an expected end of statement.

My bad, by default all VBScript variables are of type Variant, and can hold any kind of data type. Try this:

Dim aString, bString

aString = "Hellp"
bString = "World"

' Displays "HelloWorld." '
MsgBox(aString & bString)

Awesome. Now it works.

Glad I could help

Now go forth and become a Variable Declaring Guru

I'm also attempting to append a string to another string. Here's my code. It keeps giving me errors.

Dim aString, bString, cString

aString = "Hellp"
bString = "World"
cString = aString//bString
' Displays "HelloWorld." '
MsgBox(cString)

[PsychoCoder]

Not sure why you have a // in between the two variables but do this

cString = aString & bString

Also, when mentioning that you're getting errors let us know what the error message if that you're receiving
