Variable within 'Email Body'

I got this script that gets sent if something errors out. My problem
is that I would like to have the variable (source) be a part of the
message body.

This is what the message body looks like right now.
strEmailBody="Your machine PC has failed to backup one or more of the
requested files."

I want it to be like this:
strEmailBody="Your machine PC has failed to backup one or more of the
requested files from" &source". It was trying to backup to this
location: " &dest

However, when I try to do that it gives me an error: 'Expected end of
statement'

Thanks!

dude, this was already answered the first time you posted it!

look CLOSELY and figure it out!

strSource = "this is the source text"

strBigString = "this is some text " & strSource & " this is some more text"

strBigString now contains "this is some text this is the source text this is
some more text"

get it?

Take another look at your variable value, the placement of quotes and =
ampersands (&).

--=20
