I'm just wondering about the Ruby way of instantiating a class when the class name is in a string?
For example: def build_classname # reality is a bit more complex... "Foo" + "Builder" end class_name = build_classname Then I want to instantiate an instance based on class_name, ie the equivalent of: obj = FooBuilder.new # obj = class_name.new XX FAIL Google isn't helping - ruby + classname + instantiate + string brings up all sorts of random stuff :-) I was thinking of doing some eval awfulness, but there's got to be a Ruby way... -- Sonia Hamilton -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
