Create instance of class. Class name stored in a string.

Show all headers | View raw

Hi, I'm super new in Ruby World, and got in trouble with that:

how do I call the 'new' method of a class I don't know the name? The name of the class is stored in a string.

something like:

arg1 = "RADIUS"
codec = arg1.new

I would like to create an instance of whatever class name is stored in arg1 string.

Thanks in advance.
