Getting a variable name from a string

[infimo]

Is it possible to be able to reference a variable whose name is contained in a string.

So if I have x = "Hello", then can I somehow use x to reference the variable Hello?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure what you want. To keep track of named objects, I use a HashTable.

Dim MyHash As New System.Collections.Hashtable( _
New CaseInsensitiveHashCodeProvider(), _
New CaseInsensitiveComparer())
........
Dim intW As Integer
Dim sName as String
If MyHash.ContainsKey(sName) Then
intW = CType(MyHash.Item(sName), Integer)
intW += 1
MyHash.Item(sName) = intW
Else
' Got 1 of whatever
MyHash.Add(sName, 1)
End If

Thanks JohnYingling.. I guess I did think of this but wouldn't like to go through this hassle.

I was just wondering if there is a quick method.

Thanks a lot.
