Hi everyone.

Is there a way to dynamically construct a variable name?

E.g. I have variables Title1, Title2, Title3, and so on (it's a big list).

I want to use a loop to set each Title variable rather than manually specify each Title.

Is there a way for me to construct the variable name and then assign a value to it?

Just to clarify, arrays won't work for me because these Title(n) variables are outputs on an Xpresso COFFEE node.

Hello Eikonoklastes,

Because all your outputs are defined in the node, you can do this:

  
Output(number, data)  
{  
    switch (number)  
    {  
        case 0:  
            Output0=data;  
        case 1:  
            Output1=data;  
        case 2:  
            Output2=data;  
        case 3:  
            Output3=data;  
        default:  
          break;  
    }  
}  
  
main()  
{  
    var i;  
    var myArray = new(array,4);  
    myArray[0] = 123;  
    myArray[1] = 0.456;  
    myArray[2] = 11.1;  
    myArray[3] = -234;  
  
    for(i=0; i<4;i++)  
    {  
        Output(i, myArray[i]);      
    }  
}

This is possible in Python. You can iterate over ports of a node(to get the name) or any variable in any scope and read/set it's values.

Just some samplecode (Python) :

  
\>>>locs = locals()   
\>>>for i in range(20) :   
       locs['number%s'%i] = i   
\>>>print number1,number5,number17,number19   
1 5 17 19   
\>>>print number20   
<type 'exceptions.NameError'>   
name 'number20' is not defined
