powershell for concatenating multiple strings

Question

In Powershell, how can I join 5 strings into one string.

 $s1='This`-string
 $s2='is' -string
 $s3='a'  -string
 $s4='good' -string
 $s5='thing' -string
 $s6=$s1+$s2+$s3+$s4+$s5
 write-host"result is "$s6-->Thisisagoodthing

Please mention your issue properly with details.Question seems broken. — Satyam Koyani

You might use :

> $s6="$s1$s2$s3$s4$s5"
>
> Write-Host "result is $s6"

@Chaitanya chaitanya your are wrong $s6 is a string var. This is the good answer or I don't understand your question ?

You can literally "join" your strings with the -join operator:

$s6 = $s1,$s2,$s3,$s4,$s5 -join ""

Or, without specifying a delimiter:

$s6 = -join @($s1,$s2,$s3,$s4,$s5)
