Looks like the eval() will work great. Thanks so much for telling me. > >We normally warn against using eval/exec because they form a security risk. But in your case you are in control of the code that they execute so its ok. That is the kind of usage where they are the best solution.
Be very wary of cases where you read stored code from a file and execute it however. Its opssible a malicious user could add/change the code to do something bad. But provided you create the executing code yourself you should be fine. Alan G
