generate dynamic instance variables

Question

In a rails view, collection of items

<% @useful_types.each do |useful_type| %>

processes a number of operations

  <% @init = @valid_mos.first %>

These operations need to be held over as unique values in the same view to be used in furteh context. However I cannot fine the syntax to allow a processed string to generate an instance variable

<% @#{useful_type[2..-1]}_code = @init.code %>

is not allowed @#. Is there a succinct way to achieve this ?

Try with instance_variable_set:

<% instance_variable_set("@#{useful_type[2..-1]}_code", @init.code) %>

For anyone stumbling onto this, there is the getter method to accompany that instance_variable_get . Neat.
