eval problem.. advice needed!

Hi I need some major help with eval

I have a statement using eval:

read input
eval variable$input=�something�

Now I want to use the �variable$input� in some commands but I don't know how to call it without replacing the $input with the command line value (which I obviously can't do).

e.g. when I try

echo `eval $variable$input` 

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

I get an error saying command not found.

Can someone please help!!!

Hi I have resolved the issue.
