basically you seem to be on the right path, but without sharing the 
information on how you make the definition within your loop it is 
impossible to help you. Maybe sending some code would enable us to see 
what the problem might be... A blind shot is the following: Try using 
ClearAll on the symbols/variables that hold the values you want to get 
rid of...
