You may want to just build a small lookup table for this. Whoever inherits your code will thank you.

Subject:[Maya-Python] combining strings to call a variable, possible?

Hi there!,

say i have 10 curves in my maya scene. "curve1", "curve2", "curve3" and on.....,  and i have a variables curve1, curve2, curve3  which will be storing specific curves in the scene

i was wondering is there a way of calling the variable curve1 curve2 and curv3 in a loop by constructing two strings to create the variable, like this:

num=1

curve1="curve2"

curve2="curve4"

curve3="curve6"

while num<=3:

    currentCurve="curve" + str(num)

    print currentCurve

    num+=1

now this doesnt work, it prints curve1, curve2, curve3. - where i need it to print curve2, curve4, curve6

you see what i mean kind of?.

so its just about calling a variable, but first construcing the variable name with two strings. is this at all possible in python??

thanks alot, 

Sam
