Ok so I know what I am doing is deprecated (or at least poor form) but the replacement must be awkward cause I'm not getting it.
so this is in a cli based program designed to print status messages to the terminal on a linux box. pseudo code: message = "Bah." if test: message = message + " Humbug!" print(message) end pseudo code I'm sure this is not the way we are supposed to augment strings like this. maybe there is string.append() method or something I should be using instead? In my case the optional extra parts are always at the end of the current value of the string. Thanks for clearing this up for me.
