Status: offline 		I am duplicating code and I want to see if there is a way to stop

can I use a variable in a variable?  i.e.

dim varTest_1_2
dim count

count = 0

do until count = 5
   doSomeSubRoutine(varTest_1_2_ & count)
   count = count +1
loop

WScript.Quit 0

Sub doSomeSubRoutine( sFullName )
MsgBox sFullName
End Sub

Status: offline 		If I am reading you correctly then yes, you can use a variable in a variable.  But I do not think your example would work as you are not setting Vartest_1_2 and you have an extra _ in your sub call.

If you wanted to combine varTest_1_2 and count you can do something like the below.

dim varTest_1_2
dim count

varTest_1_2 = "ABCD"
count = 0

do until count = 5
   doSomeSubRoutine(varTest_1_2 & "_"  & count)
   count = count +1
loop
