[Wtr-general] Incrementing object names

[Paul Carvalho]

I use similar mixed variables in my scripts but I use the 'succ' method
rather than trying to manually figure it out.

For your sample code below, I might rework it to something like:

def enter_data
   x = 0 ; object_name = 'A10'
   read_in_test_data...
   ...
   object_name.succ!
   p object_name
   ...
end

Hope this helps.  Paul.
