Need to instantiate a class with the contents of a string variable

Question

I have:
String temp = "hello";
and I want to instantiate a class with the contents of the variable temp. So what I want is:
Class hello = new Class();
Does anybody know how to do this?

Answer 1

I'm getting kind of confused with decifering what
people are writing. I'm not real sure what the Java
syntax is and what I should be modifying for my code.
Basically, I have created a class called Artist. I
want to parse through a text file and when I see a
header field called "artist", my program will
instantiate the artist class with the next String
token. For example, if my text file reads:
--artist:Daniel
I want to create an Artist object with the name
Daniel. Ideally I could just use the code:
--Artist Daniel = new Artist();I cannot use this syntax because I don't know that "Daniel" is going to follow "artist" in the text file. It could be a different name or String
>
But the way I'm going about it right now is to store
"Daniel" in a variable called temp by:
--//"in" is an instantiation of StreamTokenizer
--String temp = in.sval;    
Right now I have the Artist class set up so there is
just a default constructor.
