I'm not sure I entirely understand what you are driving at... But if I do,
you have a couple of options. The first is to use case/when. The second is
to use metaprogramming, something Ruby lends itself to. I'm no master of
that voodoo, but I'm sure someone else can chime in who is more familiar :)
If you could give a clearer example of what you need, it might be easier,
too.
