MVPlooking for nicer way to have variable in the middle of string
i want to create a string where the variable part is in the middle, iRule / TCL doesn't totally get this.
the line below causes the system to assume the variable is $variable_fixedpart2, not just $variable
set name "fixedpart1_$variable_fixedpart2"
this works:
set name "fixedpart1_$variable"
append name "_fixedpart2"
but is there a nicer way, in one line for example?

Sure, you can use curly braces to escape the variable name:
set name "fixedpart1_${variable}_fixedpart2"

boneyardthanks, works as a charm.
i have to get used to curly braces for things like this, im using to using dots and "" for such things.
