I'm curious to know if I can patch multiple things together to make a variable.
I have some imaginary code snippets. The most direct way I can think
of is something like this:
$a = true
$var = "fail"
$variable = "pass"
puts "#{$var(if $a == true then "iable" end)}"
since $a == true, I would like this to become:
puts "#{$variable}"
But this doesn't work. I didn't expect it to, but is something like
this possible? Am I stuck with this? :
puts "#{if $a == true then $variable else $var end}"
What I'd really like to learn is how I can patch multiple strings
together and call it a variable. I think I'm just missing some simple
piece of this puzzle..
The imaginary code would be:
ab = "pass"
puts ("a" + "b").to_variable
Or to a global, an instance variable, etc.. envisioned like this:
puts $("a" + "b")
puts @("a" + "b")
If there's a simple way to do this, a code snippet or a pointer to a
manual reference would be all I need.
