: Does anyone know how you can create an array of
variable length : arrays?.

: e.g in C you could do it like this:

: float a[10],b[5],c[14];
: float *arrays[3];

: arrays[0]=a; arrays[1]=b; arrays[2]=c;

The only thing I can think of would be to use a structure: e.g. for you
example

a = fltarr(10)
b = fltarr(5)
c = fltarr(14)
arrays = {f1:a, f2:b, f3:c}

You can then access the fields numerically by using the form:
val = arrays.(n)(m)

But you can't then replace the f3 field with a 6 element array, you would
have to make a new structure.
