Increment for an array?

[get1960]

Hi.
I would like to know if it is possible to dimension an array where the values are two-digit and will be extracted as wanted?
I am tinkering with three single dimension arrays.
A$ is a string array.  N$ contains numbers.  E$ contains the values that I use to get the value in A$.


For Example:

A$=" abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
N$="000102030405060708091011121314151617181920212223242526"

E$="07051518"

E$ treats the array value as one digit instead of two.
Like this: instead of 07 it uses 0 the first time through the loop. 7 the second time through the loop.
I would like them to be treated as 07, 05, 15, 18. NOT as 0,7,0,5,1,5,1,8.

Thanks

E$="07051518"
for i = 1 to len(E$) step 2
   c$=mid$(E$,i,2)
   print c$
next

But this is not an array, at all.
Array would be
'E$="07051518"
data 07, 05, 15, 18

'make array
dim e(4)

'read into array
for i = 1 to 4
   read tmp
   e(i)=tmp
next

'print array - do whatever you need with array
for i = 1 to 4
   print i,e(i)
next

Couple examples for you-

E$ ="07051518"                                    '   this is a string not an array.

print E$
'To get bits two-at-a-time you could use 'mid$('   eg.....
print "As a string ";     mid$( E$, 1, 2)'        '    will print the first two chars #1 and #2 in the string as a string two characters long
print "and as a number "; val( mid$( E$, 1, 2))  '    will print them as a number
print "As a string ";     mid$( E$, 3, 2)        '    will print the chars #3 and #4 in the string as a string two characters long
print "and as a number "; val( mid$( E$, 3, 2))  '    will print them as a number
print

'Another useful way is to space the pairs with a character- typically a space od a comma ( is csv)
E2$ ="07 05 15 18"
print E2$
print "As a string, first two chars represent "; word$( E2$, 1, " ")
print " and as a number the second pair have value "; val( word$( E2$, 2, " "))

Thanks.  Now I feel like a goof.
 I have been working with strings for the last few months and I did similar programs but different enough from one another.
