the name of an class?

[Karl-Heinz Wild]

maybe a dummy question. sorry.

class Base
def theName
# the name i would like return should be "Question" mean the name of
the class
# calling this function
end
end

class Question < Base
def get( name )
File.open( theName, 'r' ).each { | line |
puts line
}
end
end

how can i get the name "Question" in a String. I need this as an
identifier.

thanks

I think that what you want is self.class.name --

class Base
def theName
self.class.name
end
end
