How to concatenate strings in windows batch file for loop?

In batch you could do it like this:

@echo off

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

set "string_list=str1 str2 str3 ... str10"

for %%s in (%string_list%) do (
  set "var=%%sxyz"
  svn co "!var!"
)

If you don't need the variable !var! elsewhere in the loop, you could simplify that to

@echo off

setlocal

set "string_list=str1 str2 str3 ... str10"

for %%s in (%string_list%) do svn co "%%sxyz"

However, like C.B. I'd prefer PowerShell if at all possible:

$string_list = 'str1', 'str2', 'str3', ... 'str10'

$string_list | ForEach-Object {
  $var = "${_}xyz"   # alternatively: $var = $_ + 'xyz'
  svn co $var
}

Again, this could be simplified if you don't need $var elsewhere in the loop:

$string_list = 'str1', 'str2', 'str3', ... 'str10'
$string_list | ForEach-Object { svn co "${_}xyz" }

Try this, with strings:

set "var=string1string2string3"

and with string variables:

set "var=%string1%%string2%%string3%"

A very simple example:

SET a=Hello
SET b=World
SET c=%a% %b%!
echo %c%

The result should be:

Hello World!
