somewhy this command doesn't pass:
  #declare tempStr = imgPath + cardNum + "_" + cardType + ".gif"
with the error: No matching } in pigment, + found instead.

is there a way to add Strings?

Is that a word?

You may want to try the concat function. See the docs under string
functions.

Such as:

#declare imgPath="C:\\images\\"
#declare cardNum=99;
#declare cardType="abc"

#declare tempStr = concat ( imgPath, str(cardNum,0,0), "_", cardType,
".gif" )

plane {z,0 pigment {image_map {gif tempStr}}}

text {ttf "times.ttf", tempStr, .1,0 pigment {rgb 1} scale .5 translate
<-2.5,-.5,-.5>}

If you're like me and don't always use this kind of thing it can be
difficult to remember the correct way to go about it.
