programmatically define a new variable on the fly

[Lee Sander]

Hi,

I would like to define a new variable which is not predefined by me.
For example,
I want to create an array called "X%s" where "%s" is to be determined
based on the data I am processing. So, for example, if I the file
I'm reading has
g 99
on the first line, I want to create a new variable  called "Xg" whose
length
is 99.
I tried eval("Xg=[0]*99") but that did not work.

any help would be greatly appreciated
Lee
