Scala Function block as String to Function

Question

Just wondering if there is a any way to convert/parse a string, containg a Scala function body block, to a Function object.

Do you mean runtime, or compiletime? For the first, probably a ScriptEngine implementation, for the latter, quasiquotes with macros. — Gábor Bakos

I ment runtime, since I want to receive an expression from an input string, and make it an executable function. — Dario

Please see the Scala REPL. github.com/scala/scala/tree/2.11.x/src/repl/scala/tools/nsc — Soumya Simanta
