[Wtr-general] Joining two variables

[Paul Carvalho]

Hello Astha, you would do it in Ruby just about exactly as you have
suggested.

I would suggest a minor change to your data content though.  You should
either remove the final slash (/) from the first variable, or the first
slash from the second.  Otherwise your built-up URL will look like:

  $about_url = 'http://www.google.com//intl/en/about.html'     # the
double-slash in the middle is undesirable

Whenever you have doubt or want to play with some ideas, give them a try at
the Interactive Ruby (IRB) prompt.

Cheers.  Paul C.
