String problem: how to make a number into a number between quotes?

The thing is a want to convert the value of a variable (a number), into that same value but within quotes...

Are you talking about

$game_variables[3] = 5
p "Your Number is : #{$game_variables[3]}"   -> Your Number is : 5

To use this, just use the #{} within your quotes. You must use double quotes on this.

seph... i think it should output

Your Number is : 5

Haha. Sorry. Been driving for the last 12 hours, so my brain is all scrambled. Silly Typos...

what i want is something like this:

(1)i have a variable: @a = 5

(2)i have a character named: "5_stars"

(3)then: i want to use that @a variable in a string. Like this:

$game_player.character_name = @a + "_star"

#-------------------------------------------------------------------#
But the five(5) in the variable(@a) is without the quotes, so the string doesnt follow.

So how do I make the value of a variable(like the @a example) into quotes?

THANKS A LOT.

Specially you Seph, who are always willing to give a hand.

Yep. You can do it tons of different ways. But the most simple is

$game_player.character_name = "#{@a}_star"

And some side advice, when you are just creating a simple string (no special characters or anything), use single quote marks instead of double quotes. From what I have been told (and it makes sense), single quotes are easier on the interpreter than double quotes. So instead of "_star", '_star' That is just a bit picky, but its a good habbit to form.

So you got everything figured out?

Isn't it easier with 5.to_s?
