?

I need to define a variable by the contents of a string.

Here's what I need:

NeededVariable = [dir.something['test']]

I have to assemble the contents on the right side for batch processing. So basically I have:

String = "[dir.something['test']]"

But when I try to set NeededVariable=String it obviously turns NeededVariable into a string

NeededVariable = String

Returns:

NeededVariable = "[dir.something['test']]"

So basically I need that but without the quotations on the outside.

Here's an idea I had:

print returns the value without the quotations. Is there a way to set a variable equal to the returned value of print?

Needed variable = print string
