I think it is not a good idea to use two different operators for the same appand operation, just to add a space in one case. So assume I want to start the appended part with a TAB character, would we define another operator then? We have problems with escaping characters for the variable _name_ part, but not for the value. We can for example use standard shell escape rules, like: foo += bar foo += \ bar foo += ' bar' Best regards, Wolfgang Denk -- DENX Software Engineering GmbH, Managing Director: Wolfgang Denk HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: w...@denx.de "There is no statute of limitations on stupidity." - Randomly produced by a computer program called Markov3.
