Re: Convert String to variable contained in string

Gregory,

In order to do something like this, you would have to create a wrapper
for the value which is a reference type, and then pass that around, instead
of the int itself. This way, if you change the wrapper, you are changing
instances, and when the wrapper is assingned to the variable, they all point
to the same wrapped integer.
