Joining strings

Is there a way to Join two strings together without putting them in a table and using

table.concat(tablename)

?

bigString = “small string one” … “small string two”

@Mark thanks that works

@Coder Another trick to insert into a string is using string.format.

function setup()

    name = "John Doe"
    salary = 90000

    print(string.format("Employee %s makes a salary of %dk a year.",name,salary))
end

@briarfox thanks. I haven’t heard of that one before but I’ll give it a go.
