how to combine two variables in cmd.exe script

Question

In a cmd.exe script on Windows 7, I want to combine two variables to set a third.

Eg. (which doesn't work)

SET THIRD=%FIRST%%SECOND%

How can I do this ?

Apologies to everyone who even looked at this question. The example above works perfectly and I cannot reproduce the problem I was having. Thanks for pointing out my error.

Can you provide a sample along with its output and how it differs from what you want? If you're trying to set a variable in a FOR loop, see my example here using SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION. stackoverflow.com/questions/4209652/… — indiv
