I would like to know if it is possible to convert a string in ruby to a variable. For example if I want the user to input a string with .get and then want to set the string they put to the name of a variable.

How can I make this work for example:

name=gets.chomp
name_var=#name as variable
name_var=Class.new

Thank you.

    This sounds like a XY problem to me. Probably a hash might be a much better solution. Can you please explain why you want to do that. Commented Jul 12, 2015 at 3:35
