I am looking for a way to name a list from within a program using user input
It seems like it would be simple but i have been looking for nearly a year with no results. There may be a command built in but i am reasonably sure I checked the list thoroughly.

I imagine that it would work something like this:
input "Enter the list name", Str1
*command*(Str1)

*command* would simply generate a list with the name equal to the given string.

I may have to learn some assembly in order to get this right but...
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

could you please specify? do you want to save the string as a list?

i think he means this:

Code:
Lbl A
Input "List name?",Str1
If 5<lenght(Str1
Goto A
{some_data->LStr1


if that is teh case, then no, not in basic. in asm however...

It's impossible, sorry.

The only way around it would be something like this:

input "LIST?", str0
If Str0="SAVE":1->dim(LSAVE
If Str0="LOAD":1->dim(LLOAD
If Str0="TEMP":1->dim(LTEMP
etc.

On the TI-89 family, no problem. On a TI-8x, no way.
