Subject: text_io.open filename question

I want to open several textfiles using text_io.open. The length of
each filename is only know at runtime. However if I define a string of
the maximum filename-length to hold the filename, all trailing blanks
are also passed to text_io.open and this results in name_error because
a file with trailing blanks does not exist.
So I have to pass a string that is defined with exactly the same
length as the actual filename.
How can I define a string object with variable length at runtime?
