Dynamically Create Variable Names?


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this makes sense or not, but I can't think of any other way to do it. Let me me explain what I'm trying to achieve. I have a text file acting as a 'config' file. Each line contains a single word, which I would like to be made into a button on a GUI. The text file is editable so the button names, and number of buttons can be easily changed by a user without editing the script. The file is read into an array with;

_FileReadToArray ( "buttonnames.txt", $aNames )

And I can determine how many buttons I need with;

$aNames[0]

To create the buttons I could do something to the effect of;

For $x = 1 to $aNames[0]
    ;Code to create button here
Next

The problem is, to read when a button is pressed, I need to do a;

$button = GUICtrlCreateButton (....

But it won't let me use (or I don't know how to use) a variable, in this case $x, as an additional part of the variable name, so I can create $button1, $button2, $button3 etc.

Any ideas how I can do this, or any suggestions on a better way of achieving what I'd like to do?
