How can I create a variable name from parts of another variable name

3 views (last 30 days)
Let's say I have 2 vectors called time34578 and disp34578. Now I want to create a new vector vel34578 using displacement and time to compute. But I'm doing this in a script so I want to build the array name vel34578 not physically type it. How?

I agree with Geoff. It seems like there should be something generating these vectors that would make this easier.

Good point Geoff. I'll take that approach rather that what I was thinking.
