Is it possible to procedurally define variables from strings?
I want to load data to a lot of sets of variables with names following a pattern preferably without doing that manually.
Is there a better way than:

example.sm (4 КиБ) скачан 29 раз(а).?

That's one of the other options.

Thanks, unfortunately value to be assigned is supposed to come from somewhere else, z was just an example because I didn't want to make example with large vectors or matrices to be assigned.

I was looking for a function that would turn a string into a variable that can be used as lhs operand in assignment.

If the value to be assigned is an ordinary expression, then just convert it to a string before using the above-mentioned methods.

asg.sm (4 КиБ) скачан 27 раз(а).

Something like this?
z can be anything and come from anywhere.
As long as it has same length with v.

Thank you for your help makraska and overlord.
This look great. I will throw eval in there to be sure it is numeric assignment.

algo(col) will deal with mixed import matrix.
You can code to convert mixed or numeric or string.
Select the desired matrix-col.
Subsequently, set your maths.
The attached document SS 6179, I checked it opens 30405.
Please, confirm it opens on your system.
