Newbie question # 2

[Ian Douglas <ian@vionia.com>]

Hi all

I did try Google search and assorted books but could not find answer.

In PHP, let's say we have a variable $fruit which contains the string "banana".

In PHP, if I do $$fruit, then it creates a variable $banana, which I can then do things with.

Does Ada support any such concept of taking the contents of one variable and using THAT as a variable?

I'm reading in a file which has a name of an object followed by some properties so I want to use the name as a variable ...
File is something I created, so it's not some random stuff, and the variables will be existing already.

Thanks, Ian
