Variable in a Variable?

[KeitaroUrashimaSan]

I started this because the search will not alow the string "variable in variable". What I want to know is if it is possible to call to a variable in another variable.

For Example I have several strings in many variables and I want to call to each variable by using a one set variable. I hope this makes sense and that this is the right way to do this. the text in the [] brackets is what I need help with

;variables
dim $num
dim $first
dim $CountLines = 0

;data
$myVariable1 = "string"
$myVariable2 = "string"
$myVariable3 = ""

;count strings
$first = "myVariable"
$num = 0
$myVariable = [$first + $num]

While $myVariable <> ""
$num =+ 1
$countLines =+ 1
$myVariable = [$first + $num]
;I want it to add a number to myVariable and then get the string from myVariable1, then increment that number to 2 and so on
WEnd

Look into HelpFile at Eval()

Dim $a_b = 12
$s = Eval("a" & "_" & "b")  ; $s is set to 12

$s =Eval("c")  ; $s = "" and @error = 1

maybe..

;variables
dim $num
dim $first


;data
$myVariable1 = "Dave"
$myVariable2 = "John"
$myVariable3 = ""

;count strings
$first = "myVariable"
$num = 0
$myVar = ($first & $num)

While $myVar <> ""
$num += 1
$myVar = Eval($first & $num );I want it to add a number to myVariable
        ;and then get the string from myVariable1, then                     ;increment that number to 2 and so on
    MsgBox(0x0,"test", $myVar, 2)
WEnd

I added the Eval statement and it works well now thanks.
