accessing variables with their string names [message #10670]

Hello. I'm trying to create a graphical user interface to do analysis
and plotting of research data. My widget contains a list widget where I
display the names of the data the user has read in.

The problem is: I wanted the user to be able to read in a dat file of
saved variables. I don't know what the names of the variables will
necessarily be. I figured out a way to get the STRING names of the
restored variables into an array. But, I still need a way to access the
data that the variables contain for plots, etc. Is there any way to
access the variables' data if all you have is a string array of the
variables' names? I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Natalie Rooney
