variable name from string

[ice8595]

I'm wondering if there's a way of creating a variable with its name coming from a string.

The reason I need to do this is because I have to create a bunch of xml files (each defined by the user) at runtime. I kept them in an array, but I have no way of differentiating between them. I need to input different data into specific files, and right now everything is just writing to the last file I created.

Any ideas??

Thanks

HI,
You cant variables at run time with the names passed to u as argument.
You can change only the variable values.

But you could create a structure containing the name of the data and the value in order to allow you to identify the data once read.

struct data {
    char *name;
    int value;
};

thanks for your help

in the end I just decided to set a limit to the number of files and initiate them ahead of time
