Another example. Let him convert that value_at_1_4 = 10; value_at_2_2 = 11; value_at_5_1 = 300; to this: value[3][0] = 10; value[1][1] = 11; value[0][4] = 300; So he should extract two last number parts from variable name, remove '_at_' from name, use both index for c-array-indexing but in reverse order and 0-based (original was 1-based). Of course everything in one pass in full automatic :-) regards Marc
