My lockseq library in the archives should meet your needs. Or get it at

I'm new to Euphoria, so my question will seem very basic to those on the
list.
Hope some kind soul will offer some suggestions.
Some languages have the capability to programatically create variable
names; the following example from Foxpro demonstrates what I'm hoping
can somehow be done in Euphoria. I have checked the Euphoria docs and
various other Euphoria programs submitted to the archives by others, but
haven't found and examples of what I'm looking for;
.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
if reccount() - recno() < 10
k = reccount() - recno()
else
k = 10
endif
for i = 1 to k
j = alltrim(str(i)) -- makes j a character
respresentation of the integer i
store val(CLOSE) to Price&j
skip
next i
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the loop iteratively creates variables Price1, Price2 ...Price10 and
assigns them a value.
The concatenation operator in Euphoria will catenate the contents of
sequences, but not variable names.
Is there a way to similarly create (declare) and assign variable names
on the fly in Euphoria?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Jim
