Hello Astha, you would do it in Ruby just about exactly as you have suggested.

I would suggest a minor change to your data content though.  You should either remove the final slash (/) from the first variable, or the first slash from the second.  Otherwise your built-up URL will look like:

  $about_url = 'http://www.google.com//intl/en/about.html'     # the double-slash in the middle is undesirable

Whenever you have doubt or want to play with some ideas, give them a try at the Interactive Ruby (IRB) prompt.

Cheers.  Paul C.

Hi All,

This is what I want to do. I want the base URL of the site to be a variable and to get other pages, I could create varaibles attaching to the base. So that if I have to change the URL, I can simply change the base variable.

Is there any way I can do this – something like below?

$base_url = 'http://www.google.com/'
$about_url = $base_url + '/intl/en/about.html'

Thanks for your help.
Astha
