Hi Daniel, That works, but I still can't use k for anything else after it's assignment: (*edit these to contain more or less variables,with more or less values for \ each variable:*) vartitles = {"emissions", "Weathering scheme", "Ca weath feedbcak", "Si weath feedback"}; varvalues = {{"none", "1000GtC", "3000GtC", "5000GtC"}, {"Globavg", "GKWM", "GEM_CO2"}, {"on", "off"}, {"on", "off"}}; nvars = Table[Length[varvalues[[i]]], {i, Length[varvalues]}]; nvar = Length[nvars]; Format[v[n_Integer]] := "v" <> ToString[n]; list = Array[v, nvar]; varmultipliers = Append[Reverse[ Table[Product[nvars[[n]], {n, nvar, nvar - m, -1}], {m, 0, nvar - 2}]], 1]; (*this generates ensemble number corresponding to variable selection:*) Manipulate[(*k=*) Evaluate@(k = Total[(Table[list[[i]], {i, nvar}] - 1)*varmultipliers] + 1); k, ##] &@(Sequence @@ Table[{{list[[i]], 1, vartitles[[i]]}, Table[j -> varvalues[[i, j]], {j, nvars[[i]]}]}, {i, nvar}]) doesn't work. I wan't to use k to pick out parts of an array.

However, if you say: Manipulate[k= Evaluate[..],..], then Evaluate is an argument of Set, not of Manipulate and has no effect. > therefore: > > Manipulate[Evaluate@(k = Total[... > > Daniel > > > Greg Colbourn wrote: >> Hi. >> I'm running ensembles of models and want to look at the results in Mathematica in an automated way. Part of this revolves around automatically generating lists of buttons corresponding to variables using Manipulate - the number of variables to loop over is itself variable(!). >> I can work out automatically a number corresponding to an individual ensemble member depending on which variables are chosen: >> (* edit these to contain more or less variables, with more or less values for \ >> each variable: *) >> vartitles = {"emissions", "Weathering scheme", "Ca weath feedbcak", >> "Si weath feedback"}; >> varvalues = {{"none", "1000GtC", "3000GtC", "5000GtC"}, {"Globavg", "GKWM", >> "GEM_CO2"}, {"on", "off"}, {"on", "off"}}; >> nvars = Table[Length[varvalues[[i]]], {i, Length[varvalues]}]; >> nvar = Length[nvars]; >> Format[v[n_Integer]] := "v" <> ToString[n]; >> list = Array[v, nvar]; >> varmultipliers = >> Append[Reverse[ >> Table[Product[nvars[[n]], {n, nvar, nvar - m, -1}], {m, 0, nvar - 2}]], 1]; >> (* this generates ensemble number corresponding to variable selection: *) >> Manipulate[ >> (*k=*)Evaluate[ >> Total[(Evaluate[Table[Evaluate[list][[i]], {i, nvar}]] - 1)* >> varmultipliers] + 1], ##] &@(Sequence @@ >> Table[{{list[[i]], 1, vartitles[[i]]}, >> Table[j -> varvalues[[i, j]], {j, nvars[[i]]}]}, {i, nvar}]) >> However, when I want to do anything with this number (removing the commented out "k="), it becomes a list of symbols and no longer a number, despite me using Evaluate.
