Cannot create variable parts because variable capacity 4096 is exceeded for this scope.

# A variable named Foo.
$Foo

# A variable named Foo5.
$Foo5

# A variable named Foo, which contains a collection, in which we are calling the value at index 5.
$Foo[5]

# From the collection held in variable Foo, we are calling the item whose index matches the value of a variable named i.
$Foo[$i]

# Using Get-Variable to retrieve a variable named Foo.
# Retrieves the name and the value.
Get-Variable -Name "Foo"

# Getting the value of a variable named Foo5, when the value of variable i is 5.
$i = 5
Get-Variable -Name "Foo$i" -ValueOnly

# Getting the value of a variable named Foo5 using the values of two other variables.
$Bar = "Foo"
$i = 5
Get-Variable -Name "$Bar$i" -ValueOnly

• Unless someone is jumping through hoops, the [] after a variable is an index operator, not part of the variable's name.
  
• Don't make variables with non-alphanumeric characters in their names unless you absolutely must, which isn't the case here.
  
• The -Name parameter on Get-Variable and Set-Variable accepts a string. Whatever that string is, that's what the variable name is going to be. If you stick a variable in the -Name parameter, the new variable's name will be the value of that other variable.
