Tariq wanted them in variables - so I wrote a way to get them into variables. The usual "why the {insert netherworld of your choice} would you need that" is not a polite question. It's a solution I don't like, but it's a solution.

Meanwhile I have re-read whole thread and it does look like other solutions were proposed, but Tariq probably has his own reasons why he needs var1, var2 etc.
