Declaring Variables Using Variables

how could I declare a variable by naming it with another variable. For example.

I want the name of "int x" to be the value of "char* x".

This possible?

If I get what you mean you can put int x in char *x like so

Code:

---

char *x = "int x";

---

but if you mean you want to use int x as a variable name you can't because you cant have a space in a variable name and using keywords as variable names is illegal also, you would have to use an underscore: int_x.
Why would you want to do this anyway?

No, what I meant was:

char* name = "variable_name";
int name;
//The int is actually called int variable_name

You want to name, or change the name, of a variable AFTER the exe is built?

As far as I know, not possible.

There is a slight possibility tho in DLL's. You may be able to modify the dll without the necessity of compilation afterward. However, if it's a DLL you'd have to modify before declaring the DLL in your program, I think...

But anyway, the real issue here is that this would be a shear novelty program with no use to the developer, really.

You can have a config file to get a value and use this.

ie
in the config file to be loaded and read at runtime
ConfigFile.sText[64]="SomeText";

in a header

#define MY_TEXT ConfigFile.sText

so after the program starts

MY_TEXT = "SomeText"

But this is not what you realy want
