Accessing imbedded custom properties (or other variables for that matter)

[Alan Gayne]

Hi everybody,

I've been trying to access (get or set)  the contents of custom 
properties or other variables, the names of which are created or 
selected on the fly by script control.
	e.g.:

put "cMyData_" & item 1 of the long date into myPropName

So the value in the variable myPropName on Tuesday would be 
"cMyData_Tuesday"  but on Wednesday he value in the variable myPropName 
would be
  "cMyData_Wednesday"
	
Now on each day I want to save that day's data in the appropriate 
custom property
   i.e.:    set the cMyData_Tuesday of this card to tuesdayData

However, the name of the custom property I want to set is in the 
variable myPropName.

So how do I make the spontaneous contents of the variable myPropName 
into the name of a property, the contents of which I want to get or 
set?

Something like the following doesn't work

	put "cMyData_" & item 1 of the long date into myPropName
	set the (value of myPropName) of this stack to "1234"
	get the (value of myPropName) of this stack
	answer it
	
	this brings up the following error message:
		Error description: Properties: token is not a property

I'm pretty sure that there's a way to do what I want, but I can't 
figure out how to skin this particular cat.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Alan
