I'm relatively new and need some help with a part of my program that I've been struggling with.

Basically, I'm trying to have somebody input their name, which is then stored to the variable namevar. I need to then store the string that's stored to namevar to a list, which I've done relatively easily. However, I then need to name a matrix after the value, but can't seem to figure out how to do that. Any suggestions? I'm using a V200

Edit: Got it working, thanks to Xeda! Here's my code:


Code:

You can't do it in pure 68k basic.

Edit: Looks like I was mistaken.

I was pretty sure that indirection can be used, like:

Code:

You would need to use parentheses. I feel like I did something like this when I made a sprite editor so that users could name them.

edit: fixed code syntax and provided a better example.

Darn, okay. In that case, do you know any way that I could name save files?

No, the parentheses are just removed during tokenization, so I figure they aren't important.

Oh, btw, you can edit your posts, instead of double posting. Based in the discord chat, I should have specified, indirection takes a string as an argument. (And I did finally find my 89)
