Dear all,

 

I am trying to convert a vector of strings vectstrn=("var1", "var2", ... , "varN") into an equivalent vector or variables vecvar=(var1, var2, ... , varN). Then I would need to assign this variable names to another vector of values already existing.

 

Can anyone help me with this issue?

 

Thanks in advance

Its a long standing wish to be able to do what you demand, but unfortunately there is no method available here to create a variable from the name provided as a string.
The problem came up now and then here in the forum and sometime it was suggested to try fiddling around with the XML structure of the worksheet itself, but I don't know of any viable and solid solution being ever posted here.
