In todays programming it would be handy "for example using select option lists" to make the "select strings" be names of arrays.

An example i "read a text file" hoding banknames each bank hold multiple instruments.

It would be very convenient i somehow could make the connection, once i read out the banks from file, can i create a array using the dynamically read in name?

The arrays will hold instruments but that is beyond the point.

So question is given this string


"One Two Three"

And i read out the sub "One"

How can i dynamically make an array named "One"
so i can fill it up with instruments.

Is it possible?
