You mean that you want to send for an example the varible A and the varible B at once?

yes indeed!

rednet.open("back") -- or whatever side your modem is on
local a = "Hey "
local b = "man"
rednet.send(id, a.. B)/>

Just use ".." after the varible to add another one (or string) For an example: (Id, "string".. "Hey".. varible.. "\n")

Then you have to parse the resulting string at the sender.

textutils.serialize

You can easily create a table, serialize it and send it as a single string. Then call textutils.unserialize function to get the table back.

Another function that is usefull for this kind of stuff, is

table.concat(<table name>, " ")

Adds up all the things in the table into a single line string

I wish you good luck with separating the concatenated strings like this. It's pointless.
