Hi!

Is there anybody who could tell me if there is an IDL instruction, like
in Matlab, able to convert a string into the name of a variable and
vice-versa? I mean if I have defined :

a=1
b=2
list=['a','b']

I would like to write:

print,somme_instruction(list[0])

and to get:

1

Thank you

Frederic
