Set Variable or CustomProperty Names with and expression

[Mark Schonewille]

Use arrays:

put x into myArray["set"]["life"]

Arrays may be a little slow, but creating variables on the fly will be 
slow too.

If speed really is an issue, please post a sample of your source data 
and the desired output.
