How to create classes automatically

Ruby
1

hi

let’s say I have a string with a class name as a value.
I want to create a new instance of the class with the given class name.

example:
when I have a string like this:

str = “Array”

I want to create a new Array class base on the information in str.

any ideas how this could be done ?

thanks a lot

Markus

Object.const_get(“Array”).new
