How can I create an xml object (or any object in fact) named after a variable,

i.e

variable called section with value “names”

create object [section value + “XML”] = new xml();

result: empty xml object called namesXML

[AS]  
section = “names”;  
\_root[section +“XML”]= new XML();  
[/AS]  
notice the ommission of the . after \_root, that is not an accident. I think that is what you were asking for. (you almost had it correct in your question [section value + “XML”] = new xml(); :D)

Thanks!

you know, I tried to do it - but my version included the “.” after \_root, which is why it didn’t work.

I was sure my logic was sound.

sometimes it’s the smallest thing that stops it from working.

Cheers!!
