Ok, I got 5 minutes of spare time and started a test session with vars inside execute() - strings.

Actually did run immediately into (imho) unsolvable trouble with NoVarsInStrings Option on

(The code was half stolen from one of Richards replies here : Combine Variables)

grrrr ... HTML is disabled [Mad]

code:
break on

dim $c, $out
;$     = setoption("NoVarsInStrings","on")
$n    = 1
$c    = 1
$s1   = "string " + $n
$s2   = "string 2"
$s3   = "string 3"
$out  = ""

while execute("exit vartype($$s" + $c + ")")
    $ = execute("$$out = $$s" + $c)
    $out ?
    $c = $c + 1
loop

get $
Challenge : Try to get this to run if you uncomment the setoption() .. line [Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!]
