Perhaps you try:
IDL> print, 'test',1
test 1

But as you see, there are lots of spaces.
Another way is:

IDL> test = strtrim([n_sizes, n_peaks, n_sizes*n_peaks],2)
; All Variables must be of the same type
IDL> msg=$
IDL> 'Warning: '+test(0)+' size combinations fitted against '+$
IDL> test(1)+' peak combinations means '+ $
IDL> test(2)+' individual curve fits will be done.'
IDL> print, msg
