Hello,

I am trying to write a macro to analysis multiple image stacks. For each stack, the analyzed result would put into an array respectively. As I have n stacks, I would need to define n arrays.
Ex:
a1 = newArray(nSlices);
a2 = newArray(nSlices);
.
.
.
.
an = newArray(nSlices);

Could I use "for loop" to do this job? Like:
for (i=1; i<nImages;i++){
     "a"+i = newArray(nSlices);
}

I tried this but it seems to me that by concatenating a string and a variable couldn't be assigned as the name of array.

Thanks a lot,
