*${string%%substring}
For example if $string contained "This is a string" and we replaced substring with ''s*'' an echo would result in
''Thi'' (The longest match)
+
+
+!Concatenate variables.
+
+*echo ${string1}${string2}
+
+If we did:
+
+*echo $string1string2
+
+then bash would be looking for a variable called ''string1string2'' (which does not exist). This is why the curly brackets are necessary.
+
+Another Example:
+
+*echo ${string1}"Some more Text"
