building file and variable names from variables

[madad2005]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to java, but need some help with converting what is an easy action in scripting languages but usually not so easy in programming languages. In scripting I would do the following (in pseudo-codish):

for i=0 , i<10 , i++
print "hello world no. $i"
open "filename$i"
readin "filename$i"
var.$i = var.$i + var.$(i-1)
done

Note the use of the $i. How can I do this in Java? I can do it in C and Fortran, but can't seem to find a reference on how to do it in Java. (The specific commands I used above are an example only)

Thanks for your help.

As far as i see, you are interested in concatenating a string with an integer. Lets assume that you have a string variable str and an int variable i. You will need to create an Integer object from your int primitive value and concatanete as follows:

String combined = str + (new Integer(i).toString());

Thanks. That's what I was looking for! :-)
