Question

I have a context menu that returns the menu item clicked as a value in a variable, like so.

var m = key;

The variable can be anything I program, for example; edit, cut, paste or anything else I want.

Is it possible to use this variable as a function name?
For example: function m() where m can be the content of the variable.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

Another way

function my_generic_function(m) {
    switch (m) {
    case "cut":
        console.log("cutting");
        break;
    case "copy":
        console.log("copying");
        break;
    default:
        return false;

    }
}

var m = "cut";
my_generic_function(m);

var m = "copy";
my_generic_function(m);
