Input Confusion HELP

Hi i am making a turtle game and i need a way to take an input at the start of the program and show it later
eg:

print ("Hello")
textutils.slowPrint ("What is your name?")
local input = read()
print ("OMG")
print ("LOL")
print ("Computer craft")
print ("Loads of other garble")
print ("ok mister (INPUT), lets play a game") -- Where it says (INPUT) I need to put the text from the local input = read() string

As you can see i want an input from the start to be displayed later INSIDE or at the end of (but in the same line) a print string!
If this is possible post the actual code for it or modify this code with the required arguments.
THANKS

print ("ok mister "..input..", lets play a game")

Just to clarify because clearly Galactica4 is kinda new to Lua, two periods next to each other like that is the concatenation operator. Basically means to stick the two strings together.

print("string 1" .. "string 2") -- combine "string 1" and "string 2"

outputs "string 1string 2"

So you can use this to put strings and variables together like you want.

local input = read()
print("Hey, " .. input) -- concatenating input to the end of "Hey, "
