Say I have the following variable
myClassName = 'myClass';
And I want to call an instance of the myClass constructor function, ie.
myObject = myClass(arg1, arg2, ..., argn);
Let's say I want to call it using myClassName.
myObject = (myClassName)(arg1, arg2, ..., argn); % something like that
How do I do that?
Got it. I found that this:
myFunc = str2func(myClassName);
myClass = myFunc(arg1, arg2, ..., argn);
Does the job.
eval can also be used:
eval([myClassName '(arg1,arg2,arg3)']);
str2func is still much preferrable.Does the initial variable myClassName actually need to be a string? I would implement this as:
myClassName = @myClass;
myObject = myClassName(arg1, arg2, arg3);
This is pretty similar to using the str2func call from your selfanswer, bit without the string operations which make some people (for example, me) feel wrong.
