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
