    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();
