I've a question regarding variable variable I was hoping someone could help me with:
All the examples in the manual have the entire variable name being variable e.g. $a = "hello" and $$a being the same as $hello What I need to do, however, is append a variable portion to a constant prefix. So I have a set of variables that are named $MYdog, $MYcat etc. and I need to do $a = "dog" ${"MY$a"} being the same as $MYdog Can this be done, and if so - how? I can't get it to work. Jeff
