I'm not quite sure why you'd want to do that, maybe you could explain it. Here are a couple of random possibilities:
1. use the string and eval it, makes the code less readable but there are some good uses for this: b = "button" eval("puts $ie.#{b}(:index, 1)") 2.wrap the code in a method, cleaner access and sets you up for methods on your pages which you can roll into classes for your pages: def my_form_button; $ie.button(:index, 1);end puts my_form_button my_form_button.click It all depends on what the context of the question is and where you might want to take it. -Charley On 7/7/07, mihai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
cand i do something like this, and how: b="button" puts $ie.b(:index,1) instead of puts $ie.button(:index,1) _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
