How to combine string?

[Winston Ma]

I know how to combine string using Catenate. However I have no idea how to join these into one statement

Here is the python way:

age = 10

statement = 'You are %d years old' % age

How could I do string substitution? 

Thanks in advance

Ugh

Here is a Robot Framework way:
${age}=    10
${statement}=    Catenate    You are    ${age}    years old

Hey,

if you need to use the catenated string only once (and so, you don't need to put it in a variable),
then you can simply do:
log  you are ${age} years old

Sorry what if I have multiple items to log/

e.g. 

age = 10

sex='female'

statement = 'You are %s, %d years old' % (sex, age)

Is there better way?

There are no real backwards compatibility issues. It's just that if we
add "Format String" so that it uses Python's new format syntax,
Python/Jython 2.5 versions won't be able to use it. This definitely
shouldn't harm existing tests, though.

It's true that Catenate and just using variables in strings solves
most of the normal use cases. That's one more good reason to wait
until we drop Python/Jython 2.5 support in general (hopefully in RF
2.9) and don't need to think can the new formatting syntax be used or
not.
