Hello.

i have multiple strings:

String menuItem1 = "value1";
String menuItem2 = "value2";
String menuItem3 = "value3";
String menuItem4 = "value4";
String menuItem5 = "value5";
String menuItem6 = "value6";
String menuItem7 = "value7";
String menuItem8 = "value8";
String menuItem9 = "value9";

and i have a int witch holds the a number from 1-9.

int selected = 5;

later in my sketch i want to use something like this, but i cant figure out how to write it:

Serial.println(menuItem+selected);

Consider this. After the compiler does it's thing, there are no names. Just addresses. So, you can NOT accomplish what you want using the name of the variable.

You COULD learn to use arrays. Then, what you want to do is trivial.

Thank's!

Found a solution using Arrays =)
