Evaluate as Variable, not String?

[Dave B.]

Hey gang, I am probably missing something basic.

I have a bunch of arrays in one of my ASP scripts, and I need to construct
the reference to the variable through some string contatenations.

Example:

- one of my variables is 'strQ1a(13)' and earlier in the script I assign a
value to it.
- I construct the name of this variable through code like
response.write= "str" & myQuestionNumbe r & "(" & myrs.fields("va lue") & ")"
- VBScript just evaluates this as a string and rather than displaying the
VALUE of variable strQ1a(13), it justs displays "strQ1a(13) "

How can I get it to look at this as a variable and get the value?

look at the Eval() function perhaps.

Curt:

Oh boy, how simple. I looked at that function and the description on the
site made it seem like that wasn't the one. Should have tried it anyway.

Thanks!
