How do you create variable amounts of vaiables

| Based on text with varying amounts of data, I can parse out the information I need, but haven't figured out a way to create variables from text. For instance the text might contain a list of dollar amounts. The number of them isn't constanct but each one will need a variable name. Is that possible, and if yes how?
Thanks,

You might try using a hash. Each variable will not have its own name, but you can access it with its hash key. | |
