How do I tell Maya to add "shape" to $object variable
string $objectShape = $object + "shape"; doesn't work.

2

Enclose the concatenation in parenthesis:

$objectShape = ( $object + "shape" );

Maya error says that it can not convert data of type string[ ] to type string. Then when I run it second time around it says: illegal operation "+" on data type string [ ]. What is the work around?

Maybe you tried to do something like this?

string $object[] = ls -sl;
...
string $objectShape = $object[$i] + "shape";

If it's true, use index ($i) with the element of string array.
