    Hi Sivan,

    Use Eval:

     

    Set test = Eval("KeywordTests." + keywordtest_name + ".Variables")

Hi,

 

I'm trying to do the same thing in JScript but I can't seem to find a solution.

Can you please help me?

 

Kind regards,

Thomas

 

P.s. Sorry for bumping an old post.

    Does the JScript eval method not work for you?

     

    function mytest()
{
  var name = "Test2";
  eval("KeywordTests." + name + ".Run();");
}

      Sorry, I didn't know of the eval function within JScript.

       

      I'm now using the square-bracket way and it works perfectly :)

      Thanks!

    Another way is to use the square bracket syntax:

     

    // JScript
    var     test_name = "Test1";
    KeywordTests[test_name].Run();
