Hello,

Lets say I have a function that asks me for my name [whatsyourname(user)]. and I enter ‘adam’.  
And lets say I have an instance named “adamtwenty”, for example, I’d like to modify using the function.

How do I add the ‘twenty’ to the user name input (‘adam’), so I could change the instance?

adamtwenty,

adam.
