How do I convert a string into an executable line of code in Javascript?

Question

I have the following bit of code

console.log("I am");  var x = "console.log('Alive!')"; 

Now I only want to use x to execute the code-string that is assigned to it - I may not even know the value of x for example but simply want to execute it whatever it maybe - is this possible?

Answer 1

eval() This will convert string to javascript code.

eval("console.log('Alive! Woo!')");
