GUIText Variable Mid-Sentence

For some reason I can't play a variable in the middle of a GUIText.

Here's what I would like to do.

Code (csharp):

1. GuiText.text = "There are "+variable" ducks in the pond.";

instead of...

Code (csharp):

1. GuiText.text = "You notice some ducks in the pond. Total: "+variable;

Problem is, it gives me a script error saying that something is out of position.

Thanks if you can help.

 

For everything you want to add too the string you need a +-sign in-front of it.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. GuiText.text = "There are "+variable" ducks in the pond.";
3.  

should be:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. GuiText.text = "There are " +variable +" ducks in the pond.";
3.
