[Wtr-general] Method Names as variables?

[Keith Lancaster]

I am assuming Item(80) in your example is an object.

In Ruby, you can use the ³send² method to call a function.

Example:

class MyClass
    def my_function
        puts ³in my function²
    end
end

c = MyClass.new
function_name = ³my_function²
c.send(function_name)

HTH,
Keith
