Subject: Re: Is it possible from a class to grab the name of the object instance?

Hello Marcin,

Sorry this return me the class name itself not the instance name?

e.g.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

class Investment
  def initialize
    puts "I'am ALIVE!"
    iname=self.class.to_s
    puts "Instance Name: #{iname}"
  end
end

_Invest = Investment.new

puts _Invest.class

give me:
I'am ALIVE!
Instance Name: Investment
Investment

and not "Instance Name: _Invest" as am looking for.

Tx,
r.
