i have a shell script where i send in a path, and then i need to append it.

Code:

mypath="/mydir/$1"
./mycommand $mypathadmin

./myshellscript /home/sde/

so basically i want the following command to run

./mycommand /home/sde/admin

but, .. my script doesn't work. how do i append a variable in a shell script? i've tried $mypath+"admin" , but that puts the + sign in there.

did that make sense?
