Within a Mathematica 3.0.1 notebook I would like to read in a set of expressions that can be then be used (evaluated). Example, (* Input table of events from a file -- defines liste *) ... file contains (e values): 200 190 210 ... (* Input expr1, expr2 from a file. These define in symbolic form, the equations to be used to calculate the other events *) ... file contains (equations for start,stop events): e - 40 e - 150 ... (* Now apply these equations to the events in the event file to form a list of start, stop events *) StrtEvents = {}; StopEvents = {}; Do[ e = liste[[k]]; strt = expr1; (* strt = e - 40; *) stop = expr2; (* stop = e - 150; *) StrtEvents = Append[StrtEvents,strt]; StopEvents = Append[StopEvents,stop]; ,{k,1,Length[liste]} ]; Now the new event lists should contain: StrtEvents = {160,150,170} StopEvents = {10,0,20} How can one accomplish this in Mathematica? -- Virgil
