Thanks for all of the answers, you have really helped me a lot. I was also unaware of the existence of the method '.to_sym' which will in itself solve several of my problems. (Thanks Marnen!) I will try out your suggested code to replace 'eval' and post back here if I have any further questions. Thanks again! Jim -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
