Automatic Variable Name in AutoLISP?

Is there a way to have AutoLISP name variables automatically?

ex: If a user is selecting lines, but you do not know how many lines they will select, is there a way to start with (setq line_1 (entsel)) , and continue to line_2, line_3, etc.?

Can anybody think of a better way to do this???
Thanks,
Michelle

 

Yes, it can be done; but doing so can be quite cumbersome. If I were dealing
with an unknown number of objects, I'd be more likely to deal with them as a
selection set or a list, rather than individual variables.

(setq ss (ssget "\nSelect objects: ")
n (sslength ss)
);;setq
(alert (strcat "You have selected " (itoa n) " objects."))
(while (> n 0)
(setq n (1- n)
obj (ssname ss n)
);;setq
(<<process 'obj' here>>)
);;while

Michelle,

I would have to agree with Paul. Depending on what you're trying to do,
lists would likely be a much better way to go.

What is it that you're trying to accomplish?

 

without questioning whether or not you *should* do it (as the previous two
answers) for *how* to do it see like named post above from nagesh

continue to line_2, line_3, etc.?
