Re: string

Hi Siji,

I've often wished I could do just what you're asking. We do have this
capability for *attribute* names. For example, you can do this:

  Var_name=(/"tc","ua"/)
  do nn=0,1
     temp$Var_name(nn)$ = wrf_user_getvar(a,Var_name(nn),it)
  end do

"temp" will then end up with attributes "temp_at_tc" and "temp_at_ua".
This won't work on the above, though, because I think wrf_user_getvar
wants to attach other attributes and coordinate arrays, and you
can't do this with a variable that's already an attribute.

We currently have it on our priority list to allow the "$...$" syntax
to be used as its own variable, like this:

  Var_name=(/"tc","ua"/)

  do nn=0,1
     $Var_name(nn)$ = wrf_user_getvar(a,Var_name(nn),it)
  end do

I will see if we can get this bumped up in the priority list, as
this is becoming a popular request.
