correct syntax for displaying text and variable value

I am running keyword test,
during this test I want to display following in the "Str" section of the delay functionality (which displays the actions during runtime).

"variable value is" [variable value]

I have been able to just to display the variable value, but I want to little string "variable value is", to be added but I can't get it to work...

Any help from anybody?

Hi Mathijs,

Make sure that you are using the Code Expression mode to specify a string along with a variable like on this image:

VBscript? I think you need an ampersand between your string and variable name:

"variable value is " & [variable value]

Try this, using aqConvert http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/59310/

I used aqConvert.IntToStr but you may need something else depending on your variable.

@Joe,

unfortunately,

"variable value is " & [variable value] does not work :(

@Tanya,

thank you, the "+" in the syntax did it!

@Marsha,

thank you for your tip. It worked (also needed to convert the int to a str, using aqConvert). :)
