I'm sorry that I hadn't read the mail by Jonathan Nicholl. Yeah, that was very clear and precise . thank u all. But I still can't figure out how I can have the contents of variables or the expansion of "def" as suffixes.I now think it's not possible with "def". I'll try out somethings now. Thanks again.
