Call a sub with a string for its name

[EdmCath]

I have written a sub (sub1)that will then run batch routine that will open a series of files, then do one of my other subroutines based on what sub1 has stored for a Sub name in a variable (routine).

Does anyone have any ideas?

Eg

Sub test()
routine = "acad.dvb!Startup.ImportPS"
batchroutine(routine)
End sub

function batchroutine (routine as string)
'open filelist
'for each blah blah blah
'this is where I dont know what to do, I want to run
'the subroutine here, but dont know what to say
'next
'close filelist
End sub

Have you tried

Run(routine)

Peter: "I'm not drunk, I'm just exhausted from stayin' up all night drinking!

I have now. It seems like it should work, but it does not seem to. Do you have a working example of this?

Nevermind, I figured out my problem, I am using AutoCad VBA and so for some reason it doesn't work. Thanks for your help
