[ncl-talk] dynamic variable names

[Milinski, Sebastian]

Hi,

I would like to access a variable. The name of the variable to be accessed is created from user input (string) and a suffix (string)

user_selection = "ALL"
dynvar 		= user_selection + "index"
var1			= dynvar 					; <- here I do not want the string ALLindex but the content of ALLindex.
print(var1)


The syntax var1 = $dynvar$ does not work. Is there an easy way to do this without several if-statements?

Thanks,
Sebastian
