Re: Dynamic variable names

Ekin,

Unfortunately, there's no way to do what you are requesting. We've
had other users request this as well,
and it's on our list of things to add to NCL.

There may be ways to rewrite your code so that you can get the
functionality that you want.

What do you need to do with all of these variables once you read them
in? Is it possible that you
can read the values from one variable to a dummy variable, do the
processing you need, and then delete that
dummy variable before the next time through the loop?
