Hi,

What wrong with just adding the strings together with a simple + operator ?

Like so:

var empNumber = "0123456";
var prefix = "'";

var concatBothValues = prefix + empNumber;
gs.info('concatinated: ' + concatBothValues);

// result ->> concatinated: '0123456

You can also enclose the string in double quotes. In this case, you can include a single quote without escaping it.
