Get the value of a string stored in a variable whose name is stored as a string in another variable

Question

<#assign blah = "foo">
<#assign foo = "awesome">

Is it possible to make "awesome" without reference to foo?

I tried something like ${${blah}}

But it does not work, any ideas?

There is a built-in evalthat evaluates the string as an FTL expression.

In your case, use it like this:

${blah?eval}
