Hello , new to Powershell.

I have a variable $var = "5.3"

and I need to save a string in another variable like below:

$Apath= "C:\Program Files\Test\V $var\My Folder

Here I need to basically concatenate V with 5.3, so the result will be V5.3, but the PS console does not accept it and throws error. How to use variables in the path.

Thanks

    Hi @AATester ,

    this will work as well (Write-Output isn't required):

    $var = "5.3"  
    $Apath= "C:\Program Files\Test\V $var\My Folder"  
    $Apath
