I need to create a large number of objects using a pattern of naming easily obtainable through a loop. Is there any way to have an object name be read from a variable, like
Easily obtainable? Have you looked into Arrays? If you want to use Strings then a string array will suffice, there are also char and int arrays.
String[] myStringArray = new String{"hello", "world"};
int[] myIntArray = new int{1, 2, 3, 6};
I suggest you read up on arrays and their uses, I believe it may solve your problem.
