Use an array instead...
put empty into tCardArrayA[the short name of this card]
Newly created cards where you don't specify the card name on creation, will
have a card name set to the id of the card. (like "card id 1002")
And the array approach allows the card names to contain spaces (consist
of multiple words), where the "do" approach does not.

This is what Macro Substitution was created for, but LC doesn't have that
function. Say you have an accounting app where you can load different
companies. The names of the tables and support files on disk are serialized
with a 2 digit number representing the company number. In Foxpro when you
load a new company, you *could* reference the files using macro
substitution:
open file &tCompanyPath&tModule&tCompanynum
Of course there are ways around this. Someone pointed out using an array,
which is a variable containing other variables in essence.

Dear Livecode programmers,
I am trying to create a new variable with the name of a dynamically
generated card.
Please note that I would like to create a new variable, not to put the
name of the card inside the variable.
I would like to have something like this (PseudoCode)
"Get the name of this card and create a variable with the name of the
card."
I searched the forum and the dictionary but I cannot find how to do that.
Best regards/ Saludos cordiales/ Cordialement
