ok, the title is a little vague but here is what I want to do…

I have this line of code that is creating a new IPTC meta tag on an image for me:

make new IPTC tag with properties {name:"CopyrightNotice", value:"© 2009 - John Scherer"}

at the end you can see that it has my name. earier in the code I have a dialog box that asks for the photographers name and stores that into a variable photog_name. what I want is something like this:

make new IPTC tag with properties {name:"CopyrightNotice", value:"© 2009 - " photog_name}

but this is not working - how should I go about doing this?

Thanks

ok, never mind - I figured out I just needed to put and & in-between the values… sorry

Example (for reference):

set example to "Bruce"

"© 2009 - " & example
