Hi again, I have these functions - about five of them - and they are all the exact same code except for which object instances they are referencing. For example, if I have a user object and each user can modify one of five phone fields - home, work, cell, etc. - I would like to call one function and just pass a varibale indicating which one I am modifying.
I tried something like the following with no luck: def change_phone(variable) .... @user."#{varibale}" = @phone end where variable was work, for example. But it throws an error "Unexpected STRING_BEG". If there a way to do what I am doing?
