Inserting variable within <<EOL

[Winston Kotzan]

Hello,

I am having a perplexing problem inserting a variable in the middle of text
without a space. For example:


$myvar = 'some';
print <<STOP
I want $myvar thing between text.
STOP

This would output:
I want some thing between text.

The difficulty arises when I want to insert $myvar without a space between
the words; I want the output to look like this:
I want something between text.

What can I do to join $myvar and the following 'thing' as one word in the
above string construct?

Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

please don't top post. read the group guidelines (posted regularly)

and note that the answer is the general way to interpolate a variable
when it is followed by a valid token string. the fact that you were
using a here doc make no difference as it works in any doublequotish
string.
