Ok, so the command you want to issue, for $i == 2, is:

  echo $v2

So construct that string:

  shcmd="echo \$v$i"
or
  shcmd='echo $v'$i

The result of that is that the variable "$shcmd" contains the string:

  echo $v2

Then "eval" that command (which takes a string and runs it as a shell
command):

  eval "$shcmd"

So your loop would look like this:

  for i in 1 2 3
  do
    shcmd="echo \$v$i"
    eval "$shcmd"
  done
