Variable name

Wasn't sure what else to call this to be honest.
Say I had a table, to which:

Code:

Rank[0] = "i5"

Then another to which

Code:

Div[0]="JUDGE"

This continues through all the MPF ranks and divisions.
Then, I had some variables:
JUDGEi5mdl, which stores the path to a model, continuing til the highest rank of each division. I have quite lengthy code, it goes through each rank of each division, returning or setting their model, so I attempt to switch to tables. What I was wondering, to go about this, is if there was a way to use the Rank[0] part in a variable name. This is not 100% clear, so I'll give an example

Code:

return Div[z]..Rank[y].."mdl"

Div[z] would be JUDGE, Rank[y] would be i5, therefore by putting everything together you would get:

Code:

return JUDGEi5mdl

.
It would also be good to be able to create variable names using other variables, so creating the variable JUDGEi5mdl using

Code:

Div[z]..[Rank[y].."mdl"

As well as returning it's value. My main experience is in VB.NET, and I know by this means it likely isn't possible, however it is possible. Is it possible in such a way through LUA?

 

Right, good point, thanks. You would be correct in thinking I would have lots of variables.
Despite the mass of variables being used it still takes up less space overall when I convert all my code to tables.
