From: Rick Tan Date: 2008-09-19T05:59:22+09:00 Subject: variable name Is there a way in Ruby to use the content of a variable as the name of a variable. For example var1 = 'myVar' i want to assign a value to 'myVar' by referencing var1. The name of the variable can vary depending on the content of var1. Other application include using a variable to hold the name of a class method which i need to call in my code. Thanks in advance -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
