since variable names are not objects, is there any possible ways to do

Given that Ruby doesn’t allow this, maybe the problem you want to solve
has a simple solution using another language feature. For what
purpose(s) would you want to use variable references?Lionel
Just curious. i vaguely have heard of it before

If you’re interested, I had a thread called “patching strings together
to make a variable” a long while back which had some references to
doing such tricks…
