How to strcat ?

Hello there,

How can I add two strings together in the below script?

new=strcat($song,"**.mp3");-->This is C syntax, not working here..

how can I concatenate **.mp3 with value $song in bash scripting?

Code:

#! /bin/bash

echo "Write starting of mp3 song:"
read song
new=strcat($song,"**.mp3");
find ~/ -name "$song" | sort | more

cheers!!!
