How can i dynamically call a Proc in Ruby?

Question

Is there a method.send equivalent for proc? eg:

def s a
a + 1
end
b = "s"
send b.to_sym,10 #=> 11

Is there something like this?

p = Proc.new{|s| s + 1}
d = "p"
*call d.to_sym,10 *

EDIT: In response to mudasobwa's answer I need to call the Procs from an array of methods. eg:

ss = ["a","b","c","d"] 

Is it possible in this case?

Answer 1

The other answers cover the exact question asked. But I say, it was a wrong approach. Don't do that runtime introspection. It brings no benefit. If you want to address your procs by name, put them in a hash and use "civilian-grade" ruby.

handlers = {
  'process_payment' => proc { ... },
  'do_this' => proc { ... },
  'or_maybe_that' => proc { ... },
}

pipeline = ['process_payment', 'or_maybe_that']

pipeline.each do |method_name|
  handlers[method_name].call
end
