This may be completely useless, but Lon and I created a #ruby channel 
on the local LUG server

irc.cplug.net
#ruby

The server supports ssl as well, if that is your bag.  We will likely 
be ideling in there all the time, so if you join and say something and
no one responds...we are likely AFK

Other channels that may be of interest are #cplug (the linux user group
chanel) and #hpm (The Harrisburg Perl Mongers Channel) as well as #python
Which is filled with losers :) (j/k)

Hello.

Not sure how many people are sub'd to this list, but I figured this
is as good a place as any to ask a question.

I am working a project, and in the code I want to slurp a dir of files.

The files each contain ruby classes, named similar to the file name.  
For example, foo.rb, contains the class Foo.  With some regexing I 
have taken the file name, and from that extrapolated the class name.

Example:

  klass = file.capitalize.gsub(/.rb$/, '')

Now I want to create an instance of the Foo class.  I am unsure how
to do that since klass is a String object.

Any ideas?  Or do I need to provide more info?

Got it.

inst = Kernel.const_get(klass).new

inst is a new instance of the class from the string.

Had to get the googling just right:
