New User question regarding use of string variable value as a new menuitem name

[mt70]

I would like to accomplish the following task:

1. Read the names of all folders in c:/temp

2. create a menu item for each folder that is found under c:/temp and name the menu item with the concatanation of "mnu" and "folder name"

 

I can read the names of folders under c:/temp as follows:

Dim mystring As String()

mystring = System.IO.Directory.GetFileSystemEntries("c:\temp")

 

Now I want to use the following for loop:

Dim str As String

For Each str In mystring

'...question is what do I need to do here -- the following does not work

Dim newstring As string

newstring = "mnu" & str

'...now I have the correct string in newstring which I would like to use as a name for a menu item like so:

Dim newstring As New MenuItem()

'...the issue is that newstring is already defined as a string and now I am trying to define it as a menu item.

'...How do get a menuItem whose name is equal to the value of newstring????

Next str
