rednet and strings

When useing rednet i have used

rednet.receive()

a message will be sent from a turtle using

rednet.send(1, Hello world)

Is there a way to print a string into the message e.g

turtle.dig()
blocksdug = blocksdug + 1
rednet.send(1, Block Dug:[blocksdug])

thanks again

Your first example should be:

rednet.send(1, "Hello World")

To answer the question, you simply concatenate them like any other string.

rednet.send(1, "Block Dug: "..blockDug)

You should google "Lua concatenation" to learn more.
