Subject: calling a method using a variable name??

Hey folks,

Like many posts have no doubt started.. I'm giving this ruby business
a crack!! ;)

Now this might be a really bad approach.. but I'll throw it out there.

Here's my simple class.

class Myclass
  def initialize
  end

  def hello
    puts "hello"
  end

  def bye
    puts "bye"
  end
end

As expected, works a treat.

friendly = Myclass.new
friendly.hello
friendly.bye

Now, given I now what methods are available, is there a way to do
something similar to this...

methods = ['hello', 'bye']
methods.each { |m| friendly.m }

Regards,

ajt.
