Dynamic variable name

Hy,

In a ksh I want to do this:

I have

ficVL="abc1"
var1="fic"
var2="VL"

and var3 should be assign with the value of ficVL but not in the usual way ( var3=$ficVL ). Something more like var3= $var1$var2. Anyway this method is not working to do what I want.

Is there a magic trick to do this?

Thanks in advance for your answers,

Madalina

Are you looking for concatenation?

If I understand correctly:

Code:

$ ficVL="abc1"
$ var1="fic"
$ var2="VL"
$ eval "var3=\$$var1$var2"
$ echo "$var3"
abc1
