Scenario

$ VAR1=test

$ VAR2=testing

$ VAR3=$VAR1_$VAR2

$ echo $VAR3

testing

I expected “test_testing” as the output. Why its not working? How to output in “test_testing” format? (make $VAR1_$VAR2 work)

Does it interprets VAR3=$VAR1_$VAR2 as VAR3=$(VAR1_$VAR2) ?

    try:

    VAR3="$VAR1"_"$VAR2"
    

    it interprets VAR3=$VAR1_$VAR2 as $VAR1_ + $VAR2 — there is no variable named $VAR1_
