Re: Adding a number from scalar variable to array name

It might be easier to just use a hash. Then it would be:

foreach $num (@numbers) {
    $store_get{$num}=$num; }

Also, if you're just assigning one number to each of the arrays, you can just access the array element directly:

$numbers[$num-1]

is equal to $num from when you set up the array. I hope this helps.

Well I want to store more than one variable... Reason I want to do this is for example: I want my code to create the arrays @array1, @array2, @array3... Based on the number it gets from the original array (1,2,3.... ). I want @array1 = (1,2,3), @array2 = (4,5,6), etc	[reply]

Well I want to store more than one variable... Why? (BTW: you are confusing variable and named variable). Reason I want to do this is for example: I want my code to create the arrays @array1, @array2, @array3... I want @array1 = (1,2,3), @array2 = (4,5,6), etc That's not a reason, it's just a restatement of the assertion that you want more than one named variable. Please look deep within youself and see if you can actually find a reason why you want this.	[reply]
