Can you give a real life example of what you are trying to accomplish?
Just as a rough guess VBS Dictionary objects come to mind as a possible solution. I have made several post related to HASHes and Dictionary objects for which you can search.

You can built the logic using the execute function.
Code:
break on
$a = "b"
$rc = execute ('$$' + $a + ' = "c"')
? "$$b = " + $b

Ok, I have an INI file with these values: Code:
[General]
HostName=pc1
Timestamp=1149869020
MAC=000BDB82230F
LLU=cameron.wilson
OS=Windows XP Professional
Ver=Service Pack 2
ScriptRunTime=16
I'm using this loop to get that information: Code:
$General = QS(Split(ReadProfileString($DatedFile,'General',''),chr(10)))
For Each $x in $General
$i = ReadProfileString($DatedFile,'General',$x)
? $$x
Next
Now my vars in the script match the INI element name. So if $x = 'MAC' in my script, then if I can turn $$x into $MAC, then I cancompare the actual MAC against the one stored in the INI file.... is that any better?

well after thinking about it a big more, i'm using it in the wrong context for how i use it in PHP. in PHP, when i have an associative array, I use the attempted-to-describe-above method for working with variables instead of array elements:
Code:
$test['1'] = right;
$test['2'] = wrong;
$test['3'] = either;
foreach ($test as $key => $val) {
$$key = $val
}
so then, $1 = right, $2 = wrong, etc. again, sorry for asking a question incorrectly. =/

Code:
break on
$INIfile = "c:\data\scripts\test.ini"
$General = Split(ReadProfileString($INIfile,'General',''),chr(10))
For Each $x in $General
if $x
$val = ReadProfileString($INIfile,'General',$x)
$val = "" + $val
$CMDstring = '$$' + $x + ' = "' + $val + '"'
$rc = execute ($CMDstring)
endif
Next
?
? $HostName
? $Timestamp
? $MAC
? $LLU
? $OS
? $Ver
? $ScriptRunTime
I just saw your new post. I will ook at it when I get off the phone.
