Hello,

I have written the following lines in IDL:

--------------------------------------------------------
week01 = ['2013_04_09', '2013_04_10', '2013_04_11']
w_no=indgen(15)+1
Nw=0
week_no=STRCOMPRESS('week0'+STRING(w_no[Nw]),/REMOVE_ALL)
---------------------------------------------------------

IDL> print,week_no
week01
IDL> help,week_no
WEEK_NO STRING = 'week01'
IDL> print,week01
2013_04_09 2013_04_10 2013_04_11
IDL> help,week01
WEEK01 STRING = Array[3]

I want to call 'week01' array defined above by 'week_no'. Can anyone help me to obtain week_no=week01=[['2013_04_09', '2013_04_10', '2013_04_11']?

Thanks in advance
