Fellas,

I have a database with columns named line1, line2, line3, line4, line5, line6.

I have a

x = rand(6)+1

to get the random value. Now I want the “line”+x somehow like this:

y = @variable."line"+x.to_s

And get back the data in lineX.
Whats the correct formula? TX!

Just use send method of Object:

y = @variable.send("line#{x}")
