Thanks again for your answers Steven. I will try to explain it simpler because I think I tend to complicate things.

With your help I have arrived at this point:
I have the dictionary varsdict as below
Key                        Type        Size     Value 
FEq_(0,_0,_0,_0)           float        1        1.0 
FEq_(0,_0,_1,_1)           float        1        1.0 
FEq_(0,_0,_2,_2)           float        1        1.0 
FEq_(0,_0,_3,_0)           float        1        1.0 
FEq_(0,_0,_4,_1)           float        1        1.0 

and the dictionary A as below
Key                        Type        Size     Value 
FEq_(0,_0,_0,_0)           float        1        1500
FEq_(0,_0,_0,_1)           int1        0
... 
FEq_(0,_0,_1,_1)           float        1        3300
... 
FEq_(0,_0,_2,_2)           float        1        1.0 
FEq_(0,_0,_3,_0)           float        1        1.0 
FEq_(0,_0,_4,_1)           float        1        1.0
