If you’re familiar with languages like JavaScript, Swift, or Python, you might be used to concatenating strings using the + operator. However, in AppleScript, you need to use the & operator instead.

set example to "hello"
"testing " & example

How to concatenate strings in AppleScript

As shown in the example, you can concatenate strings in AppleScript by using the & operator. The set keyword is used to assign a string value to a variable, and then you can use the & operator to concatenate the strings together.

The macOS built-in Script Editor app is a great tool for tinkering with AppleScript. It provides a user-friendly interface for writing and testing your AppleScript code.
