add charachers to string (newbe)

[MoshiachNow]

HI,
I'm a newbe in VBS.

I have an expression :
strUser="operator"

ACtually, I need the strUser to have a value of '.\operator'.
How can I achieve this ?
thanks

You can do it two ways. Either when you assign it:

strUser="'.\operator'"

or later:

strUser = "'.\" & strUser& "'"

Hope this helps

Thanks,

I tried both ,nothing seems to work.
The current code is:
strUser="operator"
strUser=""'.\" & strUser& "'"
strPassword="colorserver"
strCommandLine=PPSSwitchStream

for i = 1 to Configuration '1-8'

strComputer="150.101.101." & i & "1"
str2Run=SCISYS & "\Exec\Bin\RemoteStart.wsf " & _
chr(34) & strUser & chr(34) & " " & _
chr(34) & strPassword & chr(34) & " " & _
chr(34) & strComputer & chr(34) & " " & _
chr(34) & "CMD /C %SCISYS%\Exec\Bin\StartProduct.wsf " & strCommandLine & chr(34)

res=WSHShell.Run(str2Run , 2 ,FALSE)
FReturn=ScriptLogger("Atetmpting to Remote start : " & _
chr(34) & strUser & chr(34) & " " & _
chr(34) & strPassword & chr(34) & " " & _
chr(34) & strComputer & chr(34) & " " & _
chr(34) & "%SCISYS%\Exec\Bin\StartProduct.wsf " & strCommandLine & chr(34) ,1)
next

else
FReturn=ScriptLogger("[HardwareConfigChange changed therfore avoiding RemoteStart for PPS(s)]",1)
end if

How about:

 strUser=".\operator"

[1] This line:
>[tt]strUser="[highlight]"[/highlight]'.\" & strUser& "'"[/tt]
is not what had been suggested. It is by itself a compile-time error already.

[2] Besides, I don't think you need that much chr(34) everywhere. How about inspect for yourself this?
[tt] wscript.echo str2Run[/tt]

[3] You use False (bWaitOnReturn, i.e. asynchronous) for .run method. Make sure you know what it is.

[4] SCISYS appears as variable and an environment variable. Make sure you get it right one way or another. If it is an environment %SCISYS%, expand it using wshshell's expandenvironmentstrings() method when inject into the command line string to make sure that part is properly done without doubt.

[1-amended] This line:
>[tt]strUser="[highlight]"[/highlight]'.\" & strUser& "'"[/tt]
is not what had been suggested. It is by itself a compile-time error already. It is not a compile-time error by luck because "" is followed by a single quote taken as comment thereafter. But it makes strUser an empty string.
