Hi, I have a simple question, and my apologies to the gurus for taking your time -- i still can't search the archives.

My archives search is current <http://mindlube.com/cgi-bin/search-use-rev.cgi>

I have a set of arrays, titled arrayN, arrayV, arrayA

I want to be able to build the name of the array I need to refer to on the fly, e.g.,

put "array" & "N" into theArrayName

put theArrayName["@"]

this does not work -- using a variable for the name of the array causes the array not to be properly referenced. What am I doing wrong, or what can one do to actually build an array reference of this sort that works?

One way is to evaluate the expression with do or value: put the value of (theArrayName & "[" & quote & "@" & quote & "]")

This is an area where custom property sets is more expressive:

set the customProperties[theArrayName] to someArray
set the customPropertySet of me to theArrayName
put the "@" of me

Hope this helps,
