Is it possible to do something like that?

ex='KEYWORD_NAME'
aa=OBJ_NEW('AN_OBJECT')
aa->SetProperty, ex=5

I know this is imposible but maybe there is way to use strings (as a
keywords) to set values.

Well, then, you need to try ruby. I started using it a couple years ago to properly grok
object-oriented programming. The "I've got a new girlfriend" infatuation period has passed
and the real work has begun... I wouldn't call it a marriage just yet, but the invites for
the engagement party have been ordered. :o)

ruby is just oh so much fun to use. (Among other things, I use it to write my boilerplate
Fortran95/2003 and IDL code for me)

Anyway.....

cheers,

paulv

Nearly every day! If that didn't happen, I would have
dumped IDL a *long* time ago. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. I hadn't really appreciated until just a moment ago
how much a software relationship is like a marriage. Maybe
my R infatuation is just like that new player at the club
with the wonderful, uh, backhand. Exciting to think about,
but probably not as durable as the ever changing one I've got. ;-)

Yes, that's true. It works !

David, today you'll learn another thing about IDL.

THanks Lajos
