Vista - Dynamic variables creation

Hi Powerscripters !

Here's someone knows how to create dynamic variables with Powershell ?

Example :
for ($i=0; $i -eq 10; $i++) { $dynamicVar_$i = $i }

I want to obtain the creation of $dynamicVar_1, $dynamicVar_2, ...
$dynamicVar_10.

Best regards,

Why don't you try something like for ($i=0; $i -le 10; $i++) {
Invoke-Expression "`$dynamicVar_$i = $i" }

Better is to use New-Variable:
for ($i=0; $i -le 10; $i++) { New-Variable -Name "dynamicVar_$i" -value $i }
I also fixed the for condition - in your variant code block not called even
once.
And you can simplify it more:
0..10|%{ New-Variable "dynamicVar_$_" $_ }

Yep, I also spotted this.

Either this, or Set-Variable, if it is required that an existing
variable doesn't yeild a error condition. Right?

Thanks a lot, it's exactly what I wanted to do !
