There is almost always a better way to do what you want, rather than piecing together variable names. A hash table (or "hash") comes to mind.

myHash = Hash()

; then do this kind of thing in a loop:

myHash[10] = [94, 30, 63, 0.248019426, 240, 75]

The "key" (10) can be any scalar and "value" (the vector) can be anything at all. For more options beyond Hash, look to OrderedHash and Dictionary, which are subtly different.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
