Sorry,

Too late to think, so I'll ask and hope for the best:

I can easily generate text string name of a variable, for example "variable42". How do I get the value of such variable, using that text string:

variable42 = 12
variableName = "variable42"
variable42 = 24
variableName = "variable42"

Is there an easy way? If not, then I'll avoid this problem by rewriting something...

Good night,

Sorry, couldn't understand the question very well.

But, maybe the solution is using eval():

variable42 = 12
print eval("variable42") # prints 12

Hope I understood,

Rafael.

Never used eval before, many thanx for the introduction !!!
However it's too late, I already rewrote that part of the code

Cheers,

--jouni who will have to take a good look at eval()
