MsgBox with variable

[vrocco]

I know I am missing something simple here. Please help me out with why the code below won't work correctly.

$profile = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles", "DefaultProfile")
MsgBox(4096, "test", "default profile is:"+$profile)

When I do that, the message box just says "0" (without quotes)

When I do:

$profile = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles", "DefaultProfile")
MsgBox(4096, "test", "default profile is:", $profile)

I get "default profile is:" and nothing else.

What am I doing wrong?

MsgBox(4096, "test", "default profile is:" & $profile)

& is the string concantenator in AutoIt.

+ is the mathematical addition and AutoIt performs a conversion to numbers when trying to use +; so a string converts to zero, and 0+0 = 0.

EDIT: see "Operators" under "Language Reference" in the Help File
