Silly question:
If I have a string `str’, is there a way to set an instance variable with
that name other than evaling a string? For example:
str = 'var_name’
val = [‘string in an array’]
eval “@#{str} = #{val}” # Is there another way to do this?
p @var_name # --> [‘string in an array’]
Just curious if it’s possible,
Chris
Hi,
If I have a string `str’, is there a way to set an instance variable with
that name other than evaling a string? For example:
No methods like Module#const_set for instance variables.
str = ‘var_name’
val = [‘string in an array’]eval “@#{str} = #{val}” # Is there another way to do this?
Using `val’ directly instead of #{val} would be better.
