The others solutions in the thread are the ones to use, but I feel the
need to suggest the very dirty / insecure / bad one :

File(filepath).readlines.each do |l|
  puts string[eval(l)]
end

Don't try this at home, etc...  :)

(But, in a controlled environment, it may be useful since it allows for
all the variations that can be evaluated in one line of ruby code...)
