set handlerRecord to {myCriterionA:myHandlerNameA, myCriterionB:myHandlerNameB, myCriterionC:myHandlerNameC}

set myHandler to myCriterionB of handlerRecord

run script myHandler

script myHandlerNameA

return "Eureka! A works."

end script

script myHandlerNameB

return "Eureka! B works."

end script

script myHandlerNameC

return "Eureka! C works."

end script

Unfortunately, in this situation you can't use a variable with value "myCriterionB", and you can't use quotes in the record's values.

Probably someone can come up with something better.

You should be able to do it with 'run script':

Hey Tom,

I've tried a number of variations of 'run script'.

Given this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
on myHandlerNameB()
return "Eureka! It works."
end myHandlerNameB

set lookUpTable to "
myCriterionA myHandlerNameA()
myCriterionB myHandlerNameB()
myCriterionC myHandlerNameC()
"

set handlerToRun to do shell script "sed -nE 's/^myCriterionB +(.+)/\\1/p' <<< " & quoted form of lookUpTable
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please demonstrate how to successfully make 'run script' use handlerToRun as a parameter.

Thank you.
