How to use variables in path string

AATester 26

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

It's working for me. I was missing to use the Write-output command to get the results. I was just executing the script with $Apath and it was displaying the whole path not the output.

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
