Hi all,

I must be having a mental block but i can't think how to define a variable number of arrays within a loop.  I'm looking for a way for the loop to be able to create a number of arrays based on a counter variable.  So something like:

channels = could be any number;
array length = 5; (this is always known)
for (i=0; i<channels; i++) {
newArray = Ch + i [array length]
}

I'd like the newly defined arrays to have the same name "Ch" plus an incremental number which comes from "i" but i don't know how to declare the array name to have a variable included.  Is this possible in the macro language?  I did a google search and came across a thread where someone had suggested importing the java utility "array list" but this looked like quite a complicated solution.

Thanks for the help,

Matt
