Re: Dinamyc variables.
This is what Macro Substitution was created for, but LC doesn't have that function. Say you have an accounting app where you can load different companies. The names of the tables and support files on disk are serialized with a 2 digit number representing the company number. In Foxpro when you load a new company, you *could* reference the files using macro substitution: open file &tCompanyPath&tModule&tCompanynum Of course there are ways around this.

this is a case for DO! :-)
...
put the short name of this cd into tCardName
do ("put empty into " & tCardName)
...
Et voila, an empty variable with the name of your card.
If you need to create MORE than one variable from strings, just create an array
with the string(s) as keys.
...
put the short name of this cd into tCardName
put empty into tArray[tCardName]
...

This seems a little strange. Are you sure you aren’t suffering from an X/Y problem here. Perhaps explain what it is you are wanting to do with the variable?

Can you use value(cdname) ? Haven’t tried it, tho.

Dinamyc variables.
Dear Livecode programmers, I am trying to create a new variable with the name of a dynamically generated card. Please note that I would like to create a new variable, not to put the name of the card inside the variable. I would like to have something like this (PseudoCode) "Get the name of this card and create a variable with the name of the card." I searched the forum and the dictionary but I cannot find how to do that.
