From: Sean Russell Date: 2001-06-22T05:26:53+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:16722] Question about reflection-ish issue Hi, I was trying to instantiate an object given only a String name of the class, and I ended up with this (trivial example): a = "SomeClass" some_class_instance = eval "#{a}.new" Is there an extant, more elegant way of doing this? I seem to be suffering from a brain-cloud today. --- SER
