Yes indeed. A careless error one makes in the early hours of the morning.
Thank you very much Søren.
I am also going to look into Locale as Rachel G. encouraged . And Bob B.
has replied with a sample I want to explore too. Thank you Bob and thank

Hi Jim,

Hi Jim,
If your switch hits "English" it will also set the rest of the cases. You
need a "break" after "containsEnglish = true" - just like in Java

Was trying to come up with a Groovy way to collapse a lengthy switch
statement to dynamically building the variable name. I've failed at that.
Instead, I've fallen back on this option:
switch("$k") {
case "English":
containsEnglish = true
Søren ,
May I ask you a follow up? I am trying what I thought I read in your reply
(thank you for that, by the way). But I continue to get this error:
"The LHS of an assignment should be a variable or a field accessing
expression @ "
This is what I currently have, attempting to set my
I see how this differs from my two initial attempts. Thank you very much

Hi Jim,
It is possible:
languages = ['english', 'french', 'spanish']
englishCharsList = ['a','b']
frenchCharsList = ['c','d']
spanishCharsList = ['e','f']
languages.each { lang ->
this."${lang}CharsList".each { ch ->
println "$lang -> $ch"
}
}
Check it out here:
Good evening. I have a list named languageCharactersList. I begin my
iteration through elements in that list with this:
languageCharactersList.eachWithIndex( it, i ->
I hope to make this more generic, so that I can build a variable name that
points to the appropriate list, which then allows me
