From: Doug Edmunds Date: 2001-03-19T08:10:06+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:12829] converting a string to a class I want to concatenate strings which then are used as methods. In the example, how do I convert the string 'a', so I get the same result as 'puts b'? my_var = "include" a = "self." + my_var b = self.include puts "puts a: #{a}\n" puts "puts b: #{b}\n" -- doug edmunds 18 March 2001
