Hi All,

How to convert a string into variable name. For example i have a variable named "myname" with value "sachin" in it i.e myname="sachin".

Then in an string i have a name of the variable. using this strings value how to print the name sachin. i.e if myString = "myname" how to print "sachin" using this string variable?

eg code:

myname = "sachin";

String myString = "myname";

i want out.println(myString) to print "sachin".

Thanks in advance for ur help.

Bye,

B.Prakash.

String myname = "sachin";

String myString = myname; // get rid of the quotes so that you set myString equal to the value of myname, instead of setting myString equal to myname.

out.println(myString);
