More... In[3]:= !!name From In[3]:= 9 The following expressions will do what you want. In[4]:= Clear[a, b, c] In[5]:= For[i = 1, i < 10, name = StringJoin["a", ToString[i]]; Put[i + a, Evaluate[name]]; i++]; In[6]:= !!a1 From In[6]:= 1 + a In[7]:= For[i = 1, i < 10, Put[i + b, Evaluate[StringJoin["a", ToString[i]]]]; i++]; In[8]:= !!a5 From In[8]:= 5 + b This one is even more C-like: In[9]:= For[i = 1, i < 10, Put[i + c, Evaluate[StringJoin["a", ToString[i++]]]]; ]; In[10]:= !!a9 From In[10]:= 9 + c Best regards, Jean-Marc
