string concatenation with cadence SKILL

Hi, I wonder how to concatenate these strings with SKILL in IC5.10.41: 

VT
(“
/out
“)

So that I have a transient voltage net at the end such as
VT(“/out”)
which I can use the plot command to plot in a WaveScan window?
I mainly have difficulty to insert those double quotes inside
that string. 

Thanks,

    If you really want it to show that expression, you'll either need to pass the strcat I showed earlier:

    plot(signal ?expr list(strcat("VT(\"" signal "\")")))

    Or use:

    awvPlotWaveform(currentWindow() list(signal))

    If there's no existing window, you'll need to call newWindow() first.

    Note, I did no testing of these - this is from memory - so apologies if there are any typos.
